55 Days And Counting Down....what?!?!
Whoa! It seems like yesterday, I wrote 90 day countdown and here it is already past my checkpoint of 60 days. Where has the time gone. I have spent time researching, reading, watching videos, encouraging new comers, supporting vets all the while...stressing over my own circumstance. It is a good stress though, because I am anxious for the things to come. I already anticipate greater opportunities for my life. It starts with my health but encompasses a great deal more. I'm here and I can't stop until I have reached my goals. 55 days will soon be 5 days and before you know it I will be PatientlyWtng no more! Be Blessed!

Evidenced Based Medicine?
Patienlywtng on my Curves commented on 3yearsleeve's blog entry in Wish I knew more before I got sleevedI guess I'm not following. Is the surgery you chose not working? Then are you also saying the RNY is reversable?

My Personal Countdown --- 90 Days And Counting...
I know it may be a bit premature to start my countdown, but why not. These 3 months, 12 weeks, 90 days...etc., will be here before I know it. With my schedule, it will sneak up on me and I will be frantic trying to get everything accoplished within the last few days. My name is PatienlyWtng. I am going to excercise every bit of patience that I can. I have been purchasing what I think I need a little bit at a time. I'm now preparing for two out of town guests who will spend a week with me. Once I have all those plans squared away, I can return the focus on me. Oh and let's not forget, I still have work and school to factor in. So if starting a countdown will help me stay on track...then that is what I will do. Besides, this will be a permanent record of how sane I remained in all of this. I'm ready....for this ride to ExceLlynTLiving! Join me...

The Waiting Game...
I truly understand what you say. I was denied initially due to a missing medical clearance. Waited about 2 weeks from that and have just gotten an Approval today! The initial response came exactly within 7 days through Cigna.

Clothing Solution!
That is a great idea.

Having Doubts.......
I believe presented in a different manner you husband may come around. Because this is major surgery, he may have some apprehensions as to the outcome. Try to broach the conversation differently, if you can by asking open ended questions. Explain that this is the better choice for a long, healthy, happy life with him included. Ensure him that the physical benefit will be for the both of you. The health aspect will be yours. It may be an ego thing...it might not be. Only you will know as you know him best. As for support, this site and a few others do have those who will get you through, but it's nothing like the support of your mate. Let him know you really want this and you will be more at ease if you have his support.

Rebounding?
I want to purchase one, but have been afraid to because of the weight restrictions. However, my classmate is a personal trainer and strongly suggested the trampoline to me. Let me know how it works. I still want to purchase one though.

Love My Wls Team!
Favoredone, we have something in common! Yay! Dr. Cahill is my surgeon as well. But I see him in Dyer, In. There was a gentleman there who had his surgery where you did with Dr. Cahill. I too liked my visit with Dr. Birhahu. Hope I can share more of your satisfaction when I finally have the surgery.
