Received my surgery date.
My surgery date is July 9, ‘03.
I’ve been reading and comptemplating having the GB for several years,
but I kept putting it off. Unfortuanately now I’m plagued with
weight related health issues. I was quite confident going into this
until just this week, I’m not backing out this time, but it is nerve
racking waiting for the acutal day. I’ve never been afraid to go
under the knife before, but the constant talking about the surgery
with my surgeon’s bariactric team is starting to wear on my nerves.
Too much talk from the well meaning staff is having the opposite
affect of what they hope for. I’m not the type that likes to be
overly coddled. Don’t get me wrong, this is probably one the best
teams around for this type of procedure, but they are making me
nervous. I’m aware of all the risk involved and I’m probably just
over reacting at this time, but I just had to vent somewhere tonight.
It is great to have found this group to learn how to cope with much
that is to come. The WLS team can only talk from a medical
standpoint, it’s nice to see what those that actually experience the
ups and downs have to say. Thanks all for your contributions to this
group, I plan to read through many of the posting on here.
