Feeling like an idiot!

[Kira Helene 0]

Okay! Well I am on the road to getting banded. Well... a long road to getting banded... See My appointment with my surgeon..was back in March.. yes MARCH.. So far I've gone to the preop-wellness, white light screening, and got my psych eval... Yupp that's it.

I honestly do not mean to be dragging my heels... I have a 16 month old who keeps my hands full and I also have a husband who has not been here all summer to help out with my son because he is in the Navy and they are deploying this week.

I really want to get this surgery done.. I'm not kidding but I just don't know how I have let time slip away like this.

Anyways.. I know I need to go to a pre-op support group meeting..and I was hoping I could get a baby sitter and go to the next one so I can get things back on track... So I grab my note book with all my lapband info in it... and I find... MY blood test script... you know , the one I was SUPPOSED to take to labcorp, or somewhere to get my blood drawn and tested? Yea, best part? It was supposed to be done no later than 2 weeks after my first surgeons visit. =

Thing is, I could have sworn I went and did it... but I am also a diabetic and I switched PCP twice since March...sooo now I'm thinking I must have gone and done it for one of them and not the lapband surgeon. =

Now I'm feeling kind of like a complete idiot... I mean it's no joke I have a lot on my hands right now and I feel like I am juggling everything at once.

HOW could I forget the easiest thing on my list?! Looks like I will be making a few phone calls come Monday. I really DO want this surgery. It just seems like everything happens one after another and doing things that I need to do for myself have to be put on hold =

Has anyone else felt this way? Or had a similar experience? = I honestly feel like I need to just stop for a day and do this one thing for myself.
