YAHOO!!! I Have a Date!!!!
Oh my goodness! I can hardly believe that I have a date already. May 11th, RNY with Dr. Jones at St. V. Actually Heather offered me a date 2 weeks earlier than the 11th but due to my youngest son being in a school musical, I choose the 11th. Things have moved much faster than I could have ever hoped for.
I really should introduce myself. I have been posting for the last few weeks but didn't ever do an introduction. I am a mom of 3 but only 12 year old son still at home and I am a widow of 5 years. I am a nurse but currently work in clinical trials for a large orthopaedic company in Warsaw. I first looked at WLS and had a consult at St. V back in 2001 but 3 weeks after that appt my husband unexpectedly died. He was the ideal body weight, cholesterol, exercised, etc. The picture of health. The theory is a virus attacked his heart and quickly destroyed it. His only complaint was being tired a couple of weeks prior to his death but he was working 60+ hr a week. So I put the WLS idea on the back burner at that time but am now ready to go again. My family and co-workers have been extremely supportive. I have one very close dear friend who is having a hard time with my choice but I know that is just because she is concerned about the risks and complications.
I have really enjoyed this site and getting to know some of you through your posts. I have done lots of reading of old posts as well for information and ideas. This appears to be a great place to belong. I look forward to getting to know you all a bit better. I am so excited to join the Hoosier Loser Club!
