Leaving today for VGS 4/24 jealous of those who don't have to do this!
I head to NC today from VA. For a self pay VGS....I had to miss out going to diner with friends last night because of my preop diet..missing out tonight on another fun night with girls at a charity auction to get this done.my girls are all thin..they dont gain..sigh..unlike me who has thyroid issues...i am ready for my sleeve..i no in the end when I am healthy..feel good in my skin. i will be glad I did it,,,but I hate that I have to do this..but it is what it is! So I have to keep telling myself this will not be for ever in a month Ill be able to join them ...and in 6 months ill be able to have a small glass of wine..,why is it the things that we so enjoy we have to give up,,,...quit smoking 6 years ago. Never thought i would ..and now its my social eating put i need to give up for a while,,,,i am ready but it s all so frustrating! Ok done venting...preop testing in the morning...surgery thursday...oh please let this all be for not..please let me be able to loose this weight 12,000 is a lot of money....but worth it if it works...my goal is by 8/24 to have lost 35-4o lds.,,,under 150. I plan on going to Europe in the fall ...i want to be at a healthy weight by then.be able to very carefully enjoy then food and even a glass of wine..i will be so much healthier for the trip and it will be so worth it....wish me luck...
