Yay great news!!😊
My surgery date is next Thursday. So I'm 8 days away. I'm not nervous yet. They canceled and the rescheduled me a few weeks ago when I was 4 days away. My mother passed away from covid and my surgery date previously was scheduled around her funeral. Then when they found out I went to her funeral even though they scheduled it that way they canceled me. My mom was about 400 lb. They couldn't turn her on her stomach and the covid took her faster. I'm so scared to be that way even though the surgery for me is not weight related but medically related. My family genetics take all the family that way once they hit my age. I'm 52. I've done everything I can to talk myself out of this surgery but I have gastroparesis and I'm miserable every day, food is not my friend. I'm doing the gastric sleeve to reshape my stomach and make eating work for me instead of against me. And thinking about my mom my grandmother all my aunts and uncles and all of their weight related health problems it motivates me to keep moving forward. Knowing that after the surgery those will never be part of my future.
