Approved for surgery

Today I learned BC/Bs approved my surgery and the date is set for May 12.  I have an array of emotions.  I must admit there is a part of me that wants to turn and run (if only I could jog), but the greater part of me is already making preparations for what needs to be taken care of while I am in recovery.  I would appreciate hearing from encouraging people of ways they prepared mentally and emotionally for their surgery.  Blessings, Jaylynn

Congratulations!  I'm so excited and nervous for you!  Good luck with everything.

Congrats Jaylynn!  I am soo happy for you!  You will definitely be in my thoughts & prayers during your surgery  & recovery time!  *hugs*

 

 

Always,

Hi Jaylynn, Good luck to you!  I had my lap RNY with Dr. C in 9/06. I do not regret one minute of this decision. The staff at our clinic and hospital are wonderful.  This may seem silly - but, I did not allow the "what ifs" to enter my mind...I kept positive thoughts. I told myself and anyone that would listen that I wanted to go home the day after surgery and I would be off work just one week. I had my surgery on Monday, home on Tuesday, and the treadmill on Friday....now granted, it was really a slow, short walk...but, hey it was something.   I also knew that it would not be an easy lifestyle change...but, it would be one that was worth it. The first couple weeks are the hardest and you may question why you did it...but, after that point, it will get easier.  Again, good luck to you and enjoy the ride!  It is such a gift to have a new chance at living a healthy life!  Take care and good luck!  Jill G.
