It's a GO!!!!!
Had my gastroscopy today and Dr. B. liked what he saw!! Its a go!!! He said within the month but Lise said he is often overly optimistic and not to be disappointed if it takes longer but I should be getting the call for pre op testing soon. I was lucky in that I was able to sign my papers today as well, OMG my mind is racing. I was so afraid he would say no. And now that he has said everything looks good and that the surgery will even help my condition, I am all jittery and excited and scared all at once. I cannot believe my good fortune. I am actually going to get a chance to be healthy. My weight was down and so he said he saw committment on my part and so he was very encouraging. He is an awesome doctor and I am very happy to be so lucky to finally get to this point and to have this wonderful opportunity. Today was an awesome day!!!
