I GOT A DATE!!!
I finally got a date for surgey. Monday, December 17th will be the start of my new life!!! YippieeI'm sooooooo excited. My consultation went great, all my labs and tests look good, no pre-surgery diet required. His only instructions were "just try not to gain any weight prior to the 17th".
I can live with that. Yippiee
Congratulations. All of your hard work and effort has paid off! And rest assured, you are in excellent hands.
I am curious, how do you feel about the December date, being right in the holiday season? How are you going to prepare for that? It may make things more challenging, but on the other hand, you will have access to more support.
Best wishes and congratulations again.

Thank you. I am not really worried about my date being so close to Christmas. I think it will be fine for me. I wasn't planning on doing much for the holidays this year anyway. I wasn't planning on seeing my family this year (too far away), but at least now I know that when I see them next year I will be much healthier and better able to enjoy their company.
