My rny surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, 11.13. We sent off the approval paperwork on 10.29. If it comes back TODAY, we are moving forward with the date, otherwise it will be rescheduled. I am so anxious I can't stand it.
I know just how you are feeling. I have been thinking about the surgery and for one reason or another put off making the final decision. I decided to go forward and expected a long process. I went to the first introductory seminar last Wednesday and after seeing my surgeon Friday, have a surgery date of Nov. 13. I was really excited at first but then realization hit and am super nervous now! My husband will have one day off but will have to take care of our kids so will be in and out- we live an hour from the hospital. We will work it out and it will be awesome to get this journey started!
So I went to the surgeon today and he set my surgery for November 13. It seems surreal. I have the diet completed and all of the appt.'s for psych eval, nutritionist and class for preop scheduled for this Wed. That seems so fast.
I just joined and this is only my second post. Although in reality I spent half my life thin, half obese, took two years to decide to get the surgery and 3 months in process; it seems like 10 min thin, a lifetime obese and a thousand lifetimes waiting for this process! What is advice from people for waiting between appts and tests and steps?
