Surgery Scheduled!
I have been approved for Gastric Bypass surgery to be performed at UWMC in Seattle, WA by Dr. Wright and his team. I was finally scheduled for the surgery on March 20th. Only a month away. I am having all sorts of conflicting emotions but for the most part I am just excited and thankful that this is actually going to happen. I have been researching and trying to have this surgery for nearly a decade. *sigh* I just wanted to share my excitement here and I would also appreciate any tips for pre and post surgery. Thank you. :-)
You are in for the ride of your life!
I would suggest practicing new behaviors beginning now with regard to eating and exercise- they are essential for post WLS success. WLS is great for helping get the weight off, and the rest of it will be up to you.

"Support fosters your growth. If you are getting enough of the right support, you will experience a major transformation in yourself. You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"to talk of many things,
of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
of cabbages and kings,
and why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings"
and Heathers got her surgery date,
and that is why she sings!
