So excited I just have to share! I haven't told anyone but my hubby and my parents about surgery so I cant share the excitement! BUT- August 13, surgery day has been dauntingly close... for the last 3 weeks since I first did my pre op bloodwork I had been struggling with a mystery high white blood cell count... SO i've been thinking (and had been told by my PCP's office that they were going to have to cancel surgery). Finally last friday I got a call that bcbs accepted my claim!!! but- thats kind of devastating thinking I wouldn't get to have surgery anyway. I had been tested for everything under the sun- no infection was showing then they started testing for scary stuff-- THEN today i had to go to a hematologist oncologist today --- thinking the worst ... but--- HE CLEARED ME FOR SURGERYYYY! after what felt like the longest most arduous journey, i am SO thrilled I'm cleared to have surgery on the 13th.

I know this post is kind of scattered- sorry to anyone who is reading but I have a million thoughts racing through my mind and just wanted to share!!!

Yay! Congrats glad everything worked out for you! Please keep us posted on your journey

Good Luck on your journey !! Pretty soon I'm going to be banded, meet with the nutritionist and trying the modified diet ( it ain't easy)..... We are all in it together.

Best of Luck,

Melody

Congrats

Right before my surgery I was thinking about 101 things at once. I'm glad that everything worked out and you were given the go ahead. Sometimes the littlest things can cause our white blood count to rise. A bruise a cut or a scrape or even a little cold. Don't worry. The Dr. cleared you and soon we will see you on the banded side!

Take care of yourself and wish you the best with the surgery.

Yay! Congrats and good luck! My surgery is the 13th to:)

Thanks all! Can't wait to be banded! On the liquid diet, just thinking about how great skinny will feel while at the table with the hubby watching him eat dinner! So exited to have this sure since I'm so far too shy/embarrassed about my weight to talk to any of my friends about my wls!
