Surgery On August 12th
Hi Everyone,
I can’t believe my date is this coming Monday. I just started to
research the surgery in May and went to the Wish Center in June. I
had my second appt this past week, finished all my pre op testing and
they set the date. My biggest fear was telling my father. I am 50 and
he is 84 but I still feel like a little kid when I have to face him
with a problem. I was sure that he was going to knock the idea and
make me feel bad. Well it did not happen! He was happy for me and he
thought it is a wonderful idea. Wonders will never cease. I think my
dad is the reason I have a weight problem in the first place. But
that is a story for another day. I am starting at 350, going to have
an open RNY and I have not been this hopeful in years. I finally
believe that it will happen this time. So many promises over so many
years, but finally the one thing that will work. I know it will work
for me because I will work for it. This is a team effort with me,
myself and I. I always had a feeling that my life would end at age
50, so now I have realized that I was right. The old Patricia is
going to go and the new Patricia is moving in! I could use some
prayers, so thanks to those of you who will send some my way. I will
send word as soon as I come home next week. I am sure I will be full
of post-op questions, so get ready for me….. Patricia
