I have a date I have a date!!!

Oct 13, 2009

I went to Vascular Surgeon today. I have my date... yeah. I get my bypass on Nov 4th. I am so excited. You would think that I was getting the VSG and that I have been waiting all this time. Since I was self-pay there was no excitement it was a fact done no questions. But this is great. I am having major surgery but by the time I am done I will be able to work out fully

They will not take a vein from the stomach but a graph it looks like a milkshake straw but soft. It is white and bendable (sp?). I will be 5 days in the hospital and 2 weeks at home. I will have to get short term disability. I am so glad that I am getting it done. After the stent try and failure I feel like this it. I get my cardio check up on the 22nd of Oct then it is all good to go.

On another note the 30 day challenge is pain in ones ass. I am doing it but it is so damn hard. It is hard to check in - check out every day. I feel bad if I don't do one thing or if I did the wrong thing. I feel like I let my team down or something like that. I would never be able to be in a weight loss contest with another person because they would kill me since I am not very good at it. I have lost 2.6 pounds but I think I gained one today. Even with all my complaining I want to thank Cindy for creating the challenge.
