Excuse me while I vent.

I got my surgery date, after fighting with BCBS to get approved, a week or so ago. I'm scheduled for the 31st. Now that I'm only 2-3 weeks away from the surgery, time seems to be moving EXTRA slow.

I began this process in January when I first made the appointment for the mandatory information seminar. It's been a long, long, LONG road, and I'm ready to FINALLY start my new life. The 31st can't come soon enough.

I'm not a patient person by nature, so I suspect these last 2 weeks are going to be absolutely unbearable.

I'm patient about "bigger pictures" like knowing it will take 2 years to complete my masters degree, no big deal. But when they talked about bumping my surgery back a week, I just couldn't handle that lol

The time will go by slow, but on surgery day it will have gone by fast, make sense? Just try to take the time to mentally prepare yourself for the changes ahead.

Learn to be patient as the band does not work overnight. It is a learning process and patience is key during the first few months. It will happen soon enough! Good luck.
