New here and just thought I would leave a word or two.
Today I am well on my way in the process of getting my VSG. I have completed all nutrition and Phyc. and Dr. visits and have had all the pre-op tests save for the EGD and Colonoscopy that are happening tomorrow and an abdominal ultrasound that's being done on the 11th.(gonna get another look at this umbilical hernia I have. Already had an Cat-Scan.) Final Surgical consult is on for the 14th and then I guess I'm on the list after that. Was told that they are trying to work me in for sometime around the end of January or the First part of Feb. YAY!
Excited,scared,anxious,happy....
Yeah,Got alot of emotions with it all, but for the most part I am well and pleased with all that's gone on so far and hopeful for all the rest that's coming.
The plan is to come here on a regular basis and gather more info and support.So far everything I have seen has been encouraging.I'm thinkin' I'm gonna be glad I found this place.Best wishes to all that stop by here. May your journies bring you peace.
:heart:
12 days and I'm rollin' right along. Still got hard esophigeal cramps when I forget my meds, but I'm on my way to that sweet time. Feeling good about my choices and got lots of good thoughts about where I'm goin'.Didn't like the upper G.I. I had this morning but really looking forward to my Dr.s appointment tomorrow.Gonna get weighed and 'm happy to do it. Huh,very different for me.
Hope anyone and everyone that comes here has a great day and a happy time on the weight loss trail.
Going in tomorrow morning FINALLY! Nervous,excited,and HAPPY to get on with it.
Not looking forward to all that is uncomfortable and scarey but this chicka ain't scared o' nuthin' so bring it on Docs Lets roll!!! ( talkin' trash and laughin' hard and happy! )
Finally the Feb.25th 2011 date they threw out there at me stuck and was confirmed yesterday. There will be a few extra folk in the room...My Surgeon,an assistant,another Doctor from NY,and this cat that will be a "Proctor" for the surgeon. Yay! A Party!!! Oh well, whatever! I wouldn't care if the whole dang hospital staff,their friends and a group of folk from the cafeteria were in there as long as it all goes well and I get through the day.
I figure if I can get a good result from all these folks then I can take it from there and pull this whole life change gig off. I'm excited,scared,anxious and a little dizzy from all the twists and turns my head takes through the day,but my heart is strong and up for anything that gets thrown my way. I'm not a person that gets scared and runs, but I can see how some people can get to a place where they would re-consider this choice.All through this process I have had times where I have had to call upon some serious inner strength just to get to the next step and I now get just what it means to "Breath and Keep Going" ! ! !
To all of us that have found that inner strength and used it to take another step in the right direction..."CONGRATULATIONS!!"
We can do this and we can do what it takes to get to the other side of it too. Keep breathing,keep walking the healthy path,keep up ALL the Good Work!!!
