August 18th is my schedule surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey guys.. I know I have been gone for a while but Ive been wrapped up in between work and trying to get proper rest. Anyways this past Monday I finally got my surgery date.. August 18th! I wasnt expecting to have surgery until sometime in September bc my doctors assistant said my insurance required 6mos in nutritional counseling when it was really only 2! I guess she had my insurance plan mixed up (Empire Plan). But It doesn't hurt to have extra counseling. If I am cleared by my nutritionist I will have surgey Aug. 18

So! I am super nervous! Mainly because I never had surgery before in my life and have never been put to sleep so I'm having scary thoughts that I might wake up in the middle of surgery and feel it lol. Sounds crazy I know. And as time is getting closer and the limited support that I do have, im kind of freaking out. Im having my surgery at Westchester Medical in Hawthorne, Ny and my doctor is Anthony Maffaei. Im just looking for some encouragement and some pointers before surgery.. someone please help! Lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
