I'VE GOT A DATE!! BUT ITS COMING A LITTLE SOONER THAN I THOUGHT!!

I received my date for surgery today in the mail. I am going to be having my surgery on January 16th. I did not expect to have it this soon!!! I told my mom, which she is upset because my dad will be gone to Florida on his annual hunting trip. So, she is worried to death that she is going to have to face it on her own. My boyfriend tried telling me to tell my mom after Christmas, but I was trying to be thoughtful and tell her now, thinking my dad may be able to change his trip to a few days later... but , as of now, looks like my mom will be on her own for this. My sister and other family members plan on being there I believe, so that should help her out. As for me... I am very excited, but nervous, and I feel like I have so much to do before my surgery. My birthday is also on Jan 18th, so looks like for me that it will be no birthday cake this year... and I will be spending it with the nurses at the hospital. But , thats ok , because I have a great birthday present of losing weight~~~

Congratulations!! I have the same date. I do hope your family being there gives your mother much comfort even though your father isn't. I pray she has peace on that day, and she feels all the support around her. I wish you much success!!

Kristy is the date from your surgeon's office or your insurance? I received my date from my insurance in the mail which was Jan 1 but the surgeons office said that is a dummy date because they have to give the insurance a date when they apply for approval. Anna

The date was from my surgeon's office, that is the date that i am going to be having surgery, I have had the nurse call me from the hospital already. I have my ekg and blood work set up for today...
