FINALLY, the decision has been made...
TO DS OR VSG - THAT WAS THE QUESTION??!! I saw Dr. Stewart again today to visit about which WLS was best for me. After several weeks of going back & forth between trying to find which WLS I felt at peace with, I've finally made up my mind. Drum roll please............VSG it is. Dr. Stewart and I talked in length, and he didn't see any reason that the sleeve wouldn't be the best choice for me. So......I'm scheduled for VSG surgery on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at Frisco Forrest Park Medical Center @ 7:00 a.m. And I am EXCITED!! On a personal note, today was my Dad's 72nd birthday and my oldest granddaughter, Alivia, turned 3 years old. Watch for her Bday pictures to be posted. We're having her Bday party tomorrow, Saturday from noon-2pm and then 3 hours later, my husband and I will be flying to Dallas for our youngest granddaughter, Scarlett's, Baby Dedication on Sunday. Sounds like Saturday, March 23rd is going to be ONE BUSY DAY. My husband will fly back to Lubbock on Monday, while I will be staying with my youngest daughter, her husband, my almost 3 year-old grandson, Grayson, and his two month old baby sister, Scarlett, through next Wednesday. I wanted to get another short stay in with them to help my daughter out with the two little ones before I have surgery and can't help for awhile. I've got a BUSY next five days. but that's good because it should keep me from getting too nervous. I get home on Wednesday, the 27th. Will be home Wednesday through Sunday, and then my Mom and I will be driving to Frisco on Monday the 1st and spending the night in a hotel that is just about five minutes from the hospital. Tuesday, April 2nd @ 8 a.m. is pre-op seminar @ Dr. Stewart's office & then off to the hospital @ 1:30 to finalize admissions. I'm hoping to add a visit with two of my OH Dallas based friends, Vivian and Brenda, to that same day. Of course, last but not least, is the THE BIG DAY - Wednesday April 3. This day, April 3rd, is going to be the beginning of a whole new and improved adventure for me. I can't believe this s about to happen!!! WooHoo!!! Can you tell that I'm a tad bit excited??? I am thankful for God's guidance and peace regarding my WLS. I know He has been with me each step of the way. Love and hugs to each of you that have shared your personal experiences, advice and support. I can't even begin to tell you how much it has helped and how much it has meant to me. As always, I would appreciate your continued prayers for a safe and successful WLS. Y'all are the best. Susie
