Scheduling Surgery TOMORROW!

[danaadoo 26]

Hey all!

So I seriously thought I was going to be scheduling my surgery on the 27th, but the office called today and told me my appt is TOMORROW! I am so excited... I really cannot believe that everything is happening so fast. Unlike many of those I've read about on here, my journey has been fairly short and fast-paced. My first appointment was JUNE 15 and I only had to complete some requirements: Psych eval and NUT consult, as well as a support group visit.

Now, JULY 21st is the day I set the date that will completely change my life forever. I cannot explain how ready I am, nor how excited I am. I can't wait to feel the pain and earn the LOSS , & come out on top.

The aim for the surgery date is late August / early September. Gosh, this is surreal!!

Well, thanks for taking your time to read my post!

God Bless,

Dana

Thanks Monnie!!

Once you go into a specific (what I call) "log of forums" there should be an option at the top that says "Start new topic" -- at least on the full website. I'm not sure about the mobile app tho.

Maybe that's the issue I got iPad app.

Hi everyone. Today I see my surgeon to get a date for surgery. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I just want to be on the other side already. The losing side. I began my journey on April 15th. I have had all my tests done. My insurance already gave the okay for the surgery. I guess I am a little nervous about the after care. I am very fortunate that my nutritionist told me she will walk me through this. She will call me once a week for a half hour at a time to make sure that I am doing the right thing. She also will be showing me how to make my own Protein Shakes. I guess now I know that I won't be alone through this journey. I am grateful to everyone here and all my medical team for all they will do to help me through this journey. I am most grateful to my husband for supporting me on this journey. I will definitely keep you posted on my date of surgery. Thanks all for listening. I hope you share a similar date to mine.

@@kozyjozie I totally understand the feelings of nervousness & excitement. I feel your pain. That's wonderful the your NUT will walk you through this. It helps keep you accountable and focused. But, if you ever mess up don't be afraid to be honest with them. It allows them to be fully helpful, even if you mess up.

I'm so happy that we are getting out dates on the same day! Keep all of us posted!
