This time maybe

Another step closer last night I had my dietician and psychology seminar tomorrow I have my pap and after that I just have to get my endoscopy and psych 1:1 and then I'll be ready for surgery!

I'm getting less and less nervous and more and more mentally prepared. I feel so much better after the seminars as well. They really answered a lot of questions, have me the tools I need for post-op and really made me feel like I'll have a great support system afterwards

Hey Spring Dixie, how is everything going I noticed your last post was over a month ago. I just got my surgery date of 12/9, after waiting about 8 years also so I totally know how you feel. I was a week away from having surgery last time and was told my medicaid was no longer active. That was a big blow! I lost my job this year and instead of getting down about it I figured it was time for me to have surgery this time! So are you having surgery this month? I'm 28, 4"11 and started at 218lbs this go around. I'm going to try to add you as a friend. Also I am making a secret Facebook group if you would like to be a part of it!

Thanks for checking in on me! I got a little down as I had planned on this month originally (actually this week!) but i needed more time to financially plan for it and also be able to take more time off from work than 1 week. I'm now planning on around 12/19. I have one more procedure tomorrow and after that I will be scheduled and have an actual surgery date!

I would love to join your Facebook group, send me a message! ????

Congrats on your surgery date. I know how excited and nervous you are. I had my surgery February 24th I have lost 114 lbs have another 20 to go to my goal. I would do it again in a heartbeat. My advice is to follow all the rules and don't push yourself to eat too early. Best of luck.

Way to go! That's impressive!

I'm actually not finding myself nervous at all. I'm very excited. In the past when I've looked at doing it I was nervous about all the what ifs but now I'm beyond that. Im more nervous that it's so far out that something might happen that'll prevent me from having it done. For me there is nothing to be nervous about. I'm done living like this. Will it be a complete lifestyle change, you bet...but if it means not "living" like this then I'm ready. The risks of surgery at this point are more than worth it...if there's major complications then so be it, at least I tried.

I'm ready and hopeful and most of all excited ????

[Spring Dixie 53]

I'm 2 weeks and 2 days away y'all! I'm so excited!

[Spring Dixie 53]

Good luck with your surgery! You'll do great!
