Finally! The waiting time is over. She called this morning to say that I have been cleared by the NP and scheduled my surgery. Although they could do it as early as May 14th, I've elected to wait until I had an already scheduled vacation from work, plus there are few very important events that I need to attend and wanted to avoid any complications from surgery. Scheduled nice and early at 8am, should go home the same day. I am also having my gallbladder removed at the same time d/t some prior complications. I am required to attend a pre-surgery class at the bariatric center two weeks prior.

Now, time to focus on dieting and losing maybe another 10 pounds prior to surgery. I've been eating whatever I want and I've put 5 pounds back on.

Well, I got a call today and the surgery is moved back to June 21st. No biggie, just have to rearrange my schedule a bit.

That leaves me 8 weeks as of this Thursday to really focus on this lifestyle change and get back to those good habits I was developing.
