FINALLY! Got the date

I get "Realized," on April 6, 2009!   YIPPEEEEE!!!  

I initially thought it might be mid-March after finding a new mystery appointment with Dr. Williams on my MyHealth at Vandy page.  Turns out that's the preop consult.  I did have a message from the scheduler on my machine this morning when I got home from the vet's office and called her back.  

April 6 at 1:30 pm.  Awwww, man!  I'll have to go most of the day without drinking. I'm getting parched just thinking about it.  But that'll be a small sacrifice, don'tcha think?  Plus I get to sleep in! There's always a silver lining if you look for it.

Now that I have a date, I feel like I have my head back in the game.  I've been in limbo since early February not knowing.  Now I can my ducks in a row and make some plans.  YAY!

Speaking of which, maybe I should start today's IDGOMB thread!

Hugs, everyone!

FRICK YEAH!  i'm uber stoked for you baby doll!  :)  You just made my horrible day brighter!  April will be here before you know it!  do you have to do a pre op diet like liquids for a few days?

Whaaaat?  Who is letting you have a horrible day, Sooner?  Let me at 'em!!!  Yarrrrr! 

I am excited, finally!  It's great to leave limbo-land behind and have something inked into the old calendar.  

I do have to do 8 days of liquid diet pre-op.  Unfortunately for my TN OH friends that will be working the Walk from Obesity booth at the Southern Women's Show, I will be about 5 days into that liquid diet.  I'm sure I'll be a JOY to be around, ha ha!  I might want to download some soothing, meditative new age music onto my iPod to keep me from killing folks.

I have to get to work, but I'll try and PM you soon.  The dogs got into a bit of a fight and Jack nipped Millie on the ankle.  Always eager to find a way out of having to work (ha ha), I ran to the vet's office instead.  But I have to earn my keep sooner or later.  I'll sneak in some writing time while the boss is in a meeting, heh heh.

Now, no more horrible for you.  Don't make me fly out there.  I'll do, so help me!  

 ya Sooner!
Denise

 I know it will!  And like I told Sooner, it's gonna suck for whomever works in the booth with me at the Women's Show!  I hope I'm not tooooo crabby from days of liquid diet! 

Thanks, Cheryl!

WOOHOO!!!  

Just a "heads up" ..   my surgery was at 12:30, and I didn't even think about not getting anything all day, I was so excited to just get it done! That plus my Mom and my brother were both there, and they kept me going, even when I sent them away so they could go find food for their lunch, I was fine.  Excitement takes over BIG TIME on that day!

It will be here before you know it!!!

Congratz!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I can't wait!  And you're right--I'll probably be so excited to finally be there that being thirsty won't be an issue.  

According to the Realize My Success page, only 41 days till surgery!

Yahoooo!!!

 Yeah, sure!  Like I'm gonna wear a bikini to surgery!  Spring, Micheala, not SUMMER!  Maybe, as a compromise, I can wear one of those giant t-shirts with a skinny bikini body printed on it!

I'm just glad that I have a date so now I can plaaaaan.  I'll wait until after payday to have fun on the bariatric advantage website  but I'll be there soon enough!  Mmmmm, protein shakes.  NOT!
