I got my surgery date, I got my surgery date! I'm officially a pre-op-er! I feel like I accomplished so much just getting to this stage. I'm so excited and yet so scared. I know I'll probably, most likely be just fine, but there's always that nagging voice in my head going, "hmmm, are ya sure?". I am so glad I started watching YouTube and all the WLS community post oppers who have been so successful. They really gave me the courage to find this path and take the first step on this journey. I was so dead set against surgery til I found them. Messagegoddess, BetheBestMe, EmmyRNY; all of them are so great.

So first, I have to get this little ovarian cyst removed in the next couple of weeks so my sleeve surgery can proceed on JUNE 16TH. Apparently, losing 20 lbs pre-op made this cyst(i call her Gertrude) jealous and it decided to get very angry and painful. So laying in my stomach was not an option anymore and I must have it removed. That's nerve wracking enough. All this while going to school, raising my kid and trying to find a job.

But now that I have my date, all is right in my world. I have no complaints. Only gratitude for this board, my health and the staff at South San Francisco Kaiser. WOOOHOOO!
