With trepidation, I have hope once again!

Mar 15, 2011

I have a glimmer of hope in my heart!  My DH got new insurance, and the insurance I have at work has changed a bit.  Also, wonder of wonder, the hospital has decided that bariatric surgery is NOT an elective procedure like plastic surgery and therefore treat it as they would any other surgery.  In other words, I don't have to come up with the full amount before the surgery can be done!  I have gone back to my wonderful surgeon, Dr. Oakley, and I have a new surgery date, April 5th.  I am almost afraid to get excited as this will be my third attempt, but this time I feel it will happen for me!  Too bad I now weigh more and I have insulin-dependent diabetes, but that's the way it goes.  On a positive note, my surgeon now does DS laparoscopically, so no huge incision!  That's a HUGE bonus for waiting!  I must admit, the last time I had to cancel my surgery I fell into a huge depression, and threw away all my research and supplements, etc., so am trying desperately to reacquaint myself with the nutritional requirements, and to restock the supplements.  I am not feeling as well prepared this time, but I don't care...I WILL HAVE THIS SURGERY OR DIE TRYING!
