Surgery Date is 04/25/2011

Mar 23, 2011

I haven't posted since my seminar visit to Hurley Medical Center's Bariatric Program.  I suppose because I have had so many emotions, I wasn't sure how to express them.

My insurance approved my surgery immediately.  I then went through a psychological examination only to find out that food is (and has always been) my drug of choice.  I know that I must change my mind along with surgical changes to my body.  I am prepared, willing and able.

I received a call today.  My surgery has been scheduled for April 25th, 2011 at 10am.  I have a nutrition class I must attend next week, a pre-admission test that must be done and I will start a liquid protein diet on April 10th.  

For so long I have felt as if I was a spectator in my own life...often times sitting on the sideline watching because of being physically unable to participate.   Knowing that all of that is soon to change fills me with joy.  I'm so very excited at the possibilities that lie before me.
