My First VS Blog!

My very first blog on the Vertical Sleeve forum.

 

My surgery is approaching. I'm scheduled for Sept. 3, 2013. 28 days away and I'm getting more anxious by the minute. I've been super lucky to have so many friends and family who are supportive of this decision, but ultimately I'm here because I'd like to communicate more with people who are actually experiencing these things.

 

As I told my surgeon, this is the single most important decision I've ever made, and will ever make, regarding my health. The hardest part of it all so far has been explaining myself to the people who say "you've lost 30 lbs on your own, you don't need the surgery." I struggle with finding a response for these statements. I'd been considering this surgery for a year before I talked to my PCP, and have been meeting with my surgeon since February. I've never been more certain about anything.

 

This week I'd like to start working on my profile. I'd really like to start connecting with people! Pictures and bio: coming soon :)

That is exciting that your surgery date is set. My six month wait is up and I find out my surgery date next Friday. I heard here at my hospital they are booking six weeks out. I am tired of waiting and ready for this next step. I look forward to hearing how your experience goes. Keep posting.

@Inspiredsmile That period right before I found out my date was the hardest stretch! I was so anxious. I got my date on July 19th and my date is Sept 3, so I was very surprised how little time there was between the two dates! It'll move fast! Keep in touch, I'm interested in seeing when your surgery date is!! :)
