Date Set

Well, just got the call this morning around 10:30 that my insurance has approved my surgery and it's now scheduled for Aug. 23!!!! I could have scheduled for the 16th and that was my plan but there are a lot of things going on here at work that I needed to be here for so I pushed it to the 23rd. The nurse said they also had Aug. 9th open but that's a little TOO early for me. It's all becoming very REAL now. I mean, I knew the time would come but now that it's here I'm nervous, anxious, scared, excited, and really having second thoughts. Is this normal? Anyone else feel the same?

 

But I know to get healthy this is what I HAVE to do. I can't do it alone, I need this tool to help me. I can do it!! I've GOT to do it!

 

Please everyone who reads this, please send advice. I need it.

    Congrats on getting the date set Missy. Being excited and nervous is normal and if you ask me a healthy response to major surgery. You certainly are not alone, you have a great big community of bandsters that have been where you are and have a wide spectrum of experiences both good and bad. When you are making a major life change such as one that the lap band affords you, there's nothing like real-life testimonials to let you know what to expect and to give you support.

    Good luck Missy! BTW I'm scheduled for 7/27 so I'm also excited and nervous = )
