I ordered a nice robe for the hospital. When it arrived, I tried it on and looked in the mirror and it hit me that this surgery is really going to happen! Excited and nervous, which I think is normal at this point. Really dreading the two week pre-op liquid diet but am committed to it 100%.
My doctor first recommended bariatric surgery about two years ago. I attended my first information session in August 2013. As I am using a military facility (my husband is a retired Marine), I did not have to go through the insurance approval process. I was required to attend nutrition sessions, psych eval, support groups, etc. So I've been busy!
I'm 44 and wish I'd done this sooner. How about you?
