Thrown through a loop

[ngoycoanaya 18]

So I'm scheduled for my gastric sleeve surgery on November 26 and I've had all my preop testing I'm on my liquid diet and I get a call from my surgeons office saying that I needed another EGD. They recommend me to this doctor by chance he has an opening just for a first-time an appointment the next day. I see him and he was telling me wow I don't think I can do anything for you so he calls and his secretary to see what he has for Monday and he luckily had one cancellation and fit me right in, thank goodness.I was almost discouraged but I kept pushing and praying and hoping and like my husband told me things that you want, really want do not come easy. So for all experiencing loopholes and disappointments remember what you want never comes easy so keep fighting keep pushingand keep your eyes on that prize... Good luck to all my fellow Sleever's preop and postop and here's to hoping all our goals come through.

I felt the same way. I had to jump through so many rings of fire to finally get my surgery that I almost convinced myself that it was a sign NOT to do it. I even thought, maybe I won’t survive this one it was so bad everything they made me go through. I felt like I was on staff making calls making sure people were on top of THEIR job. To the point that after I received my surgery date, they said … You know you need to see a cardiologist (I’m hypertensive, but my heart is great). When I went there 15 days before my surgery he was insisting on MORE tests. I just finally broke down crying. I said my goodness, are you serious? It’s a sign! But lo’ and behold, I recieved a call a little less than two weeks before my surgery date (11/24) and was told if I would mind coming in the next day (11/12). I said with all my nervousness, I WILL BE THERE! 10 days post op, I am doing well through the Grace of God and those appointments the cardioligist wanted to me do … canceled

Stay positive, and your husband is 100% right. Have to work hard for what you want, and it is worth it! Keep your head up, you are on your way to healthiness and longevity
