The countdown begins...again.

Hi guys! So I am scheduled for January 24 for my revision on my Y-connection. They would have but me in earlier but I wanted it done on a tuesday. I do not want to be in the hospital over the weekend(god forbid if something happens) in the care of only the residents on call...no way. I know how that story goes. I am almost 100% sure this will make me better. I know it sounds very sad (b/c oh boy do I know the risks of surgery) but I am looking forward to having this surgery. I just do not want to be in the hospital in 2/2 or 2/7, those days need to stay away from me! Bad Luck. I just can't believe this saga is a year in the making already! Oh my goodness...the surgery gods need to be good to me this time around! I get asked all the time if I regret doing the RNY and my answer is always, no. I just wished it could have been easier for me, that is all. This all just has made me such a stronger person than I already was. I just look forward to when everything is said and done. I know I will never go back to eating/living a certain lifestyle ever again. The last thing I want to do is make myself sick, I have been sick enough! I told the surgeon on monday if down the road when I come in to see him if I mention I ate something bad like an oreo or cheez doodles, I told him to kindly remind me everything I went through and then strangle me. Anyway, I am now focusing on eating to try to stablize my weight. I have nothing left to lose but so far so good. I feel like a little piggie b/c I'm always eating. I still cannot believe I am wearing a size 0...i mean who wears a size 0? That isn't even a number. Have a great holiday everyone and I'll let you guys know of any other updates. You guys have been so super to me, its unbelievable. I do not think I would be so sane if it wasn't for the support/emails I have recieved from here. Thanks so so much! Take care. Tavia
