Aug 13TH Nervous !!!!!!!!

[Frustr8 7,886]

And @AshMarie794,@clsumrall,@Chrisb428, this is Frustr8, I'm lagging behind a little but I'm a-coming. Put me down for September 5th At 7AM edt at my hospital of current record OSU- Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio with my surgeon, the one I really wanted, Bradley J NeedlemanMD, head of Bariatric Medicine and Metabolic Weight Loss there. Since I am at 7AM, that means I am the first case that morning, let,the rest of the traffic pile up behind me. First time in a long time I've got preferential treatment anywhere. And Ash Marie, I understand what is going through for you, how many times has my journey stopped, started, had to overcome roadblocks, quagmires, all my fears drowned in my tears, now I am joyfully looking ahead, and I think I can do this, it's my choice, my commitment, and mine will be the final victory. Would you believe I can choose the duration of my prep diet? They ask for a minimum of 2 weeks,max of 4, they of course recommend 4, I'm told that ensures easier,recovery and possibly better healing. Yeah but what my bari-buds have related, I will be hangry, tempermental and the only thing that will keep me from blowing someone or something up is the fact I will be week and dizzy with hunger. My high school class reunion will be the 11th, 55years, I warned you I AM OLD, actually the youngest in my class, but still OLD. So do i commit to 4,3,or2 weeks? And I have an ornery landlord wanting to sell my house. Think his greedy wife wants the money for God knows what, fix their own house, go on a cruise, put money in their daughter's college fund? I have an. insurance settlement coming to payment in mid August, greedy Jenny wants us out by August30-31. Yep right before my surgery! Do I make arrangements to purchase this place, that he has neglected to repair things in, or relocate somewhere else? So I am pitching things out, been here 18 years, in that time my MIL, a 31 year old son, and my husband died, still have all their stuff stored upstairs. MIL was a photo pfreak, I have several totes-full upstairs, I have no MF idea who most of them are, some have names on them, most don't. As example there is old timy one "at aunt and uncle's house, boy we all had a good time" Aunt and Uncle Who? Nobody left from that generation to ask! Add in mine and Tomkitten's out-of-season clothes. What size am I going to be by winter? I'm a 26 now, how close will I be to my goal of a 15 junior? See underneath all of this flabby fluffy fat I think I am a junior. For a big girl I'm only a C-D, many at my weight are E, F,G. So I am an overgrown tomboy figure, honest. I probably can wear the sweatshirts a while longer but the old beat up jeans and slacks have got to go. Do I dump them at Goodwill, throw them in a dumpster, we have a church run facility in my community, gotten rather persnickity, they want everything freshly laundered, neatly ironed or folded before being put into not,overfilled bags. Must have delusions of being an upscale consignment Shoppe.
So think,is me,fighting the fight, scratching my head, holding a premiere Protein in one hand, wondering WTF do I do first?😫💦😫

August 13th for my revision from band to sleeve. I can’t wait to get this band OUT!
Plus I have a hiatal hernia that feels like a baby’s foot up in my rib cage... ugh!!
Gallbladder going too. I hope I’m not an outpatient...have a call with Dr. on Friday.
Good luck all you August Surgery Daters!
