Surgery Date Finally

[dkm164 23]

Finally got a call from the surgeons office today--they told me I was approved on 13 Dec. Surgery date is 25 March--had to push to then since my daughter is expecting my first grandchild. She's due 24 February and can't wait to meet my granddaughter. Figure that gives me time to spend a week with her even if the baby is late. So excited to get this show on the road and hoping that this surgery will help me get off some of the insulin and diabetes medicine that I'm on. New Year , new me. Have been drinking Water, decreasing soda, and mentally preparing for this journey.

Congrats! It is such an awesome feeling when the weight starts to come off and clothes get baggy! I'm 5 weeks out and feeling great! Try to walk starting now. The more active you are before surgery seems to help recovery time. Good luck!! Oh and congrats on that grad baby that's on the way!
