Time Most Definitely Flies!!!

 Time has most definitely flown by. Next week on Thursday I will finally be switched. So people are overwhelmingly nervous but I'm just excited. I swear there is an extra spring in my step and a huge grin on my face! Although I'm doing my happy dance about my surgery specifically, I am hating this process right about now. I feel prepared and I'm at peace with everything. 

But there is always drama right. My insurance got canceled somehow, but my surgery is approved. So today I spent the day trying to get it squared away. I'm really close I have a couple of things to submit tomorrow and all should be well. I have already been informed that it will be reinstated on the same day. WHEW!!! I had this nagging feeling that something would go wrong before my surgery and it did. I balled my eyes out earlier, threw myself a pity party, and then I pulled up my big girl panties to make things happen.

I will admit I am wore out from fighting my insurance. But I am one determined individual so I won't give up. Even in the midst of  adversity. Things go wrong for me all the time, and nothing comes to me easily, but I am a fighter. So I will make the best of it with what I have. Sour lemons make SWEET lemonade!!!!

Any pre-op or post-op advice will be appreciated and absorbed! And please say a few prayers for me 1.) pray for insurance issues to dissipate, 2.) pray for continued peace of mind, 3.) pray for safety during and after surgery, 4.)pray for a speedy recovery. Thank you all for the support!

Swinging lizards and sending up prayers too. I hope everything works out.

Hope insurance doesn't give you anymore problems Congrats on making it this close to surgery

Best wishes!

I'm swinging critters for you!! ;-)  I was worried pre-op as I was concerned that my surgeon may be taken ill or something like that - you know just crazy concerns like that so I KWIM.

My advice is take lip balm even if you don't normally use it as you won't be allowed much orally for the first day - not even water.  I also recommend slip on footwear - slippers and shoes, as you won't be able to bend over early out (first couple of weeks).

How funny - my surgery is in 8 days, and I also am worried about something happening to my surgeon! :)   I'm also afraid that when they take a look-see inside me that they'll decide only to do the sleeve.  It's taken me 9 months to get to surgery and I'm just worried every day - but happy & excited as well.  Holy cow!

Swinging critters all around the place and praying that all those hurdles fall away and your path to surgery and recovery is as easy as possible.

Hoping you all the best - you are making the best WLS decision that's out there.

Here's to a boring surgery and quick recovery!
