Pre -Op And Wavering Between Excited And Terrified

[Sannah 258]

Hi Sannah! To answer your question I just had my first meeting with my surgeon on 9/18. My insurance company requires 3 month medically supervised program. Interestingly enough' date=' it seems like the whole 3 months are geared toward the surgery. It sounds wierd but I kind of expected it to be a time when they tried to talk me out of it or something - or I jumped through a bunch of hoops and if I "passed" then I could have the surgery. But really other than making appointments and seeing the requisite doctors I'm not required to actually DO anything. The NUT said I will be on a low carb high Protein diet for 2 weeks before surgery - no liquid diet that she spoke of yet. I see people posting that they have a 2 week liquid diet before surgery. If I could do that SlimFast would have worked for me a long time ago LOL! At any rate, I'm excited but scared as hell and just wondering if I'm being selfish for wanting to do this. I want what is best for my husband and son by being the best wife and mother I can be - but at the end of the day this is what I want for MY life. I'm a horrilble person <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

So two times I have typed out a reply and something went wrong!! Yikes!!! It's hard for me to type on the phone. As soon as I get to a laptop computer I will send my reply!! Third times a charm!!

Have a good day!!

Best,

Sannah
