March 2020 Surgery Folks Come On in!

I didn't see an official thread so I started one! I finally got my date in March on St. Patrick's Day just before my birthday. I'm excited and anxious all at once. It could have been scheduled in late Jan/Feb but the bari center didn't get the Doctor's clearance that they were looking for and I had to wait until she got off of her winter break to get her to redo it, and then it took a couple of weeks for me to finally call them. They had called but either didn't leave a message or didn't leave the right number (because they are associated with the hospital) so it took a while, plus I'm too busy at work right now to take off anyway.

Now that it's all set up, I have to spend the next month or so preparing the house, starting with the kitchen. Everything that I can't eat anymore is gonna get tossed. Starting Tuesday, I will be going to the bari classes so that I can get my head totally into this. The waiting has been annoying, but it's all falling into place. Sometimes I can't believe I'm really doing this!

I was Approved and scheduled for March 23 and got cancelled due to COVID-19?

I know you’re devastated by this news. Just know this is not a final no. It’s a not now. Your time will come. Hang in there. My surgery was delayed for almost 2 months and I spent that time preparing even more for it. Stay safe and positive vibes for you to stay safe during this mess. ❤️
