Got a Date Excited.Nervous.Freaking OUT.

Mar 03, 2013

So, on Friday I FINALLY got my date for surgery for April 5, 2013.  I can hardly believe that is finally going to happen.  This has been a long process, Dr. appointments, waiting, tests, waiting,  blood work, waiting, more appointments, waiting (you get the idea).  When I had my surgeon appointment in December and Dr. Gmora said that I was cleared for surgery and had every reason to believe that I was an ideal candidate for the procedure, I was ecstatic!  I hoped that I would hear about a surgery date early in the new year and Dr. Gmora had given me some hope that it may be possible, but as the weeks passed and there was no call, I became discouraged.  I even began to wonder if all this waiting was worth it and I noticed my resolve on some of the small changes I had been working on leading up the the surgery was cracking under the strain of the wait.  But then it happened, with one phone call from the bariatric centre, I was fully committed and ready to do this thing, all it took was the offer of a surgery date!  So there you have it.  April 5 I begin my new life.  I am so nervous about the Opti stage of this journey.  Everything else seems manageable to me but I am afraid of messing up on the opti diet.  I am just going to focus on the fact that I am lucky that it will only be two weeks and count them down!  Anyway, one of my planned ways to manage my hunger/ change in routine around eating is bloging and posting on here so, if anyone is reading, you can expect to see a lot more posts from me!!
