out of my mind!!!

Hi!

I'm a mother of 3 boys and I live in Cold Lake. I'm with my soul mate for 13 years and we're getting married in a month.

Since I had the phone call to see Dr Davey in Bonnyville my stresse level is way up high....it's killing me....I'm so afraid....happy yep but afraid....afraid that he refuses me....afraid that he says yes but that I fail after a while and that I'll come back where I'm right now.....

I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol....I've lost 50lb in the last year....but it's not enough...I don't want to died...I want to see my children growing up....I want to see their kids too....

I just needed to talk about it ;)

 I was afraid too when I got the call , felt like I couldn't measure up to the surgeon's expectations and that he'd refuse me...all I can say is deep breaths and have some faith, in yourself first and that the surgeon has your best Internet at heart as well, then once you are on this journey just know there will be good days where it is all easy and then really bad days where it's darn hard and it feels like you fail and nobody cares. But one day, one breath at a time, you will be fine, you need to tell yourself that.  It is easy to tell ourselves the bad, but work on giving yourself support as well.  I found lurking on this website has pulled me through many a dark hour.

 Oops I meant to say the surgeon has your best interests at heart, not Internet, darn autocorrect

I see Dr Davey in Bonnyville as well.... he's very kind and friendly... if you have weight to lose and all those medical issues Im sure he'll accept you, all you have to do is keep a food journal and see a dietician.  I never had to do any weight wise modules in Edmonton, just saw him once a month, and today I got my call from the Royal Alec and my suregery date is for June 18th im so excited... Your referal wait usually takes the longest... I was refered last May, saw him first time Dec 2, 2011 and have my Suregry booked June 18th... he told me March 2  that he was going to set up the surgery.... went very fast faster than I thought.  I'm so excited... Oh and ive been doing so much reading and reacerch and havent found any body regretting the surgery, my mother had the gastric bypass and it was something i was scared to do, but the sleeve is less invasive and seems much safer.  Good luck and things will go by fast.

 I'm from québec, where the waiting list to see the surgeon is 4-5 years....so I've start to see a psychologist over a year ago...plus a dietitian specialised in eating desorder....I already lost some weight as I told up there....hope that it will help with the surgery date :) and if not...i'm ok with it...it help me already a lot....

my family doctor send the referal in november....and i've got the phone call begining of april...I was SOOO surprised....nobody knows for now...just my hubby....I'm waiting  to see Dr Davey first......
