Six Months...and Waiting.

Jan 14, 2014

So... I found out one of my friends here at work is having the sleeve done with one of the doctors I am consulting with next month. Her surgery is scheduled for next month and right now she is doing her pre-op diet. I can't wait to talk to her in more detail about it. What she was able to tell me was because we have the same insurance, there is a six month consultation period before surgery. That means the soonest I will likely be able to get my surgery is August 2014. I also found another coworker who had RNY 7 years ago by the other surgeon I am consulting with! She is doing great and has nothing but good things to say about her experience so far.

Although I still have a lot of questions, I am becoming excited again and am starting to think about all the positive effects having this procedure will have on my life. I will be able to dance again... I will want to go out and be seen... I will enjoy shopping again, and maybe even be able to wear pretty high heels again! Gosh that would be nice! I shared my plans with some close friends last night and got nothing but positive feedback! It was really a load off to be able to share this with someone I love and trust. That definitely encourages me to know I have support.
