Surgery Scheduled!

Hey guys!  I just scheduled my VSG for June 22nd!  Still need to do pulmonary and cardiac clearance, but those are scheduled too.  They are in the next few weeks.  If insurance approves it sooner the date may get moved up.  If not, we'll see!  I'm both terrified and excited to finally get the ball rolling. 

YAY! Congratulations on the date! It will be here before you know it =]

I remember being nervous and excited at the same time. This was the first "elective" surgery I ever had. I was on the table and I sat up and was thinking of walking out and canceling my surgery.  Then I spoke with the anesthesia doctor and the nurse in the room while sitting on the table. They both said it's up to me and they had my back either way...but they wanted to assure me that if I was going to choose to go through with this that they had a great team ready to care for me. They both said they would do everything they could to take the best care they could of me. So I asked them to pray with me and they did. Then I said let's do it. They both checked on me several times while I was in the hospital. I made it through without a glitch. I think it was one of the greatest things I could have done for myself so far. 

YOU GOT THIS!!!
