Holy cow!!! It's next week!!!

Well, I saw my Doctor on Tuesday and they said they could schedule me next week or in March...those were my choices...I took next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I can't believe it!!! My surgery date is 2-7-07...sounds lucky 2 me! It is all happening so fast! I LOVE Memorial Medical Network. They got the info from Jodie and approved me the same day! But here is my tiny fear...food is my comfort when I am anxious and stressed or sad...how am I going to have comfort...what will I use? I know that sounds silly...but I am trying to think of new ways to cope during these times...any thoughts? I just can't believe it...me thin again, I thought the day would never come...I can't wait to see the real me in the mirror again. thanks for all your support everyone!!! Any suggestions for my last few days before surgery? -Charlotte

Hooray, Charlotte!!! If you have any interest in things like needlework, or puzzles, or who knows what else, maybe you can retrain yourself to use one of those outlets for your comfort. Enjoy your favorite foods/restaurants these next days. You won't regret it. And yes, you WILL be able to enjoy them post-op, just in a modified way. You'll do great!
