January 27
Well I am so excited to finally know when I am going to have my surgery. I will be having my surgery on January 27th which is only about 20 days away. Yay!! If my doctor would of said do you want it next week I would of said "hell ya" but oh well. Anyways it gives me time to work something out at work. Since they don't know I'm having this procedure done. Not because I'm ashamed of it just because I brought the thought of it out before and they all started to criticize me about taking the easy way out! Which I disagree cause Nothing is ever easy nothing. So I have just told them that I needed to have surgery for my gallbladder end of story. Which was still a little more than they needed to know. I just need to do this for me and I now know this is the only way. I am just a little worried with it being a major surgery and all about the complications and the what ifs but I guess that's just with everything. I don't know how much time to ask for cause I hear all these different stories about pain and problems after the surgery. I can tolerate pain. I also have a desk job and don't really do any lifting of anything. Well papers thats about it. I was thinking maybe anywhere from 3-4days at the most. I don't work weekends so that'll give me a couple more days to recoop.
Hey lizzyliz1, We will be sharing the same surgery day. Hopefully we can keep in touch and help each other along the journey to being thin in '09. I haven't told anyone at work about my decission to have surgery either, I am taking vacation time to recover. Nor, have I mentioned anything to my family (sisters and brothers etc.). I am doing this for me and no one else. Best of luck to you, I keep you in my prayers.
Sure that would be cool! I'm pretty sure we'll both have a lot of questions to ask eachother after the big day. I too am taking vacation time for the surgery and recovery and actually I just used another reason for surgery. I told them that I needed to have another procedure done. They've known about all my recent health issues so they think its related to that. But my family knows about it. They are kind of concerned because they say its so risky but I don't care cause its for me and I'm the one who has to live with it and not them. So they know better than to say anything else negative. Because I would simply tell them its my life,body and my choice. Too bad! And my husband is with me on this so that's all that really matters to me.
Hi again,
I guess I'm not as nervous as I think I am. I am excited and can't wait to be on the other side. I have been thinking about writing letters. I know a lot of people write letters to their loved ones just in case something happens to them. But then I wonder if writing them means that I think something bad is going to happen. I would want my kids and hubby to know how much I love them etc, but writing it seems kind of morbid. What do you guys think? I've been thinking about it for a few days now.
