FINALLY I HAVE MY SURGERY DATE!!! I am so excited, and somewhat petrified. I will be having surgery on August 22, 2017. Dr. Timothy Jackson is scheduled to do it (but apparently it could be any of the surgeons on the team at TWH).

So it is very real and very overwhelming now. I am hoping for a cancellation as even a week earlier would help me out. I have to be in full form and in full swing to return to work in a crazy stressful 4th quarter starting October 2nd.

Nonetheless, it is happening. What a way to start the weekend!

Referred April 2016, Orientation September 21, 2016; Psyc appointment November 23, 2016; Nurse Practitioner assessment November 30, 2016; Nutrition Class December 7, 2016; Social Worker assessment December 9, 2016; Nutrition 1:1 January 26, 2017 and Surgeon April 7, 2017; Pre-admission June 12, 2017; Surgery date June 20, 2017 with Dr. T. Jackson TWH.

If your surgery is in August you should be fine in October.

I've been waiting to see when you got your date for...it seems so far off, but with all the waiting we've done to get this far, I'm hoping it doesn't drag on...
