Surg date changed; I'm feeling a bit better about doing RNY.

At my request, my date for RNY has been moved from 10/10 to 10/25. I have a large event I'm responsible for taking place on 10/12, and just couldn't leave that in someone else's hands with a clean conscience. (My client is bringing 35 of her colleagues to my site for an all-day set of tours and informational meetings). Since I have to be seen the Wednesday before surgery, 10/25 was the next day that could be worked out. I posted here a week or so ago, feeling a lot of hesitation, questioning whether I should move ahead. Thoughtful responses from a handful of you really helped me to reflect on some of the factors driving my hesitation. While I'm still not gleeful about doing this, I do feel more settled about the decision. I recognize now, that I have repeating my prior pattern of overanalyzing my decision. I just need to trust myself and my decision, and do this thing, for my health and longevity.

You need to make sure you are ready for it. Go with your comfort flow and when you are ready we are all here. My surgery is set for October 25, I wi**** were tommorow. Good Luck and smooth sailing to you. Jane

The surgeon requires I stay close to the hospital for a week after surgery, so I'm excited that my first day home will be Halloween. I can see my 3 year old twins in their costumes, even if I may not feel up to trick-or-treating with them. Best wishes to you Jane, and thanks for your support. Sheryl
