Thankful for: EGD completed. Surgery Date Set.

Okay, y'all , I'm one thankful lady - Just got home from having  EGD (scope) done @ 5:30 this morning, so not going to post much. Still a bit groggy and about to go rest. Decided yesterday to go ahead and do what my heart was telling me and wait until April so I can travel to her house in Dallas at the end of February and March for 4-5 days each time. She really wants me to be there to help her with the new baby, her toddler and house work for these first three months. So, that's what I'm gonna do. I know some of you thought I should go ahead with my surgery at the end of this month/or first of March, but I think my decision to postpone surgery is the wisest more considerate decision for Everyone involved.

I called yesterday and scheduled DS surgery, with Dr. Stewart, for Wednesday, April 3rd. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Thanks for all the connections you can give me for DS. I live in the Lubbock area and have already connected with several of you OH guys. God has put some extra special surprise connections in my path over this last month. I'm SO thankful for three extra PRECIOUS OH people, Brenda, Vivian, and Darlene. They have gone out of their way to give positive support and advise. The others that have been placed by God to help me are: Amy Pope, from my cardiologist's office that had DS done by Dr. Syn, here in Lubbock a year ago, and an additional person that Brenda connected me to here in Lubbock - Jean, head of LADS - Lubbock Area D S. I will be getting as much info as possible from them. BUT.....sure appreciate and cherish ANY & ALL support & information you might have. There's no such thing as TOO much information. Thanks y'all. Have a great week and wonderful Valentines Day with your loved ones.

Excited   but a little bit scared 

Congrats on surgery date and new grand baby. April 3rd will be here before you know it.

Thank you, Sandra. I am excited...about both .  Hope you have a great day.

 

Congrats on a date!

It's only seven weeks, nothing to it.  Enjoy the new grandbaby.

THANK YA, FELLA. ~ 'nuf said ~ 

Susie....I am SO thrilled that you now have a "new surgery date".  Don't be afraid....remember fear is NOT of God.   I know when I got the call with my surgery date I was a little bit scared too.   I then asked God to replace that fear with joy.   I want to tell you I don't think my feet hit the ground after that prayer.    Even the morning of surgery I had nothing but excitement and the joy of the Lord.   I'm so happy that your going to get to spend some time with you daughter 2 precious grandbabies.   Trust me they are VERY important to us and we need all the little hugs we can get from them.    I look forward to visiting with you more and getting to know you on your WLS journey.    Hang in there April 3rd will be here before you turn around.   Have a blessed evening.

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

YOU, my friend, have been a God-Send.

Thanks Karla!! I'm planning on being VERY thankful for the surgery, and yes, I SURE WILL enjoy these Sweet Grand babies in the mean time.  I'm heading back down to Dallas to help Shelby with her two sweet little ones - Grayson & Scarlett. Scarlett turned one month old today. Grayson will turn 3 yrs old in April and Our Granddaughter that lives with us, Alivia, will turn three years old this next month. so yes.....

I DO LOVE MY  GBABIES  They are, all three of them, Nonny's Sweethearts .

Oh, Susie!  I'm so excited for you.  Now that you have a set surgery date, you can start making plans.  Read, Read & Read all the information you can find.  Go over the posts made on the DS Forum and ask those questions.  Your life will change for the GOOD after April 3rd!  Can't wait to meet you face to face.
