My "Butterfly" day ...

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

Well, my surgery day, what I call my "butterfly day" is exactly a week away....OMG it's almost here!! When I first walked into my surgeons office in August of 2015 and was told yes I was a good candidate but my insurance required a 6 month supervised diet I wanted to cry!!! I was so ready to have surgery right then and there!!

In hindsight I needed these months to mentally change myself and my views on food. Now I am ready !

To those in the 6 month wait ...it will go quickly and use the time to prep yourself mentally as well as physically.

Congrats on the day! Yes, the 6 month wait sucks but goes by quicker than you think. Which is why I can emphasize enough how people should relax and enjoy life during the wait.

Thank you all! I can't wait to be a permanent, card holding member of the losers bench!
