And the journey begins
After much research, ambivalence and fear I made the decision and I will be
having lap RNY on December 29 at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago. I’m feeling
so many emotions all at once. On the one hand I so look forward to being
healthier, more comfortable and having self-esteem once again. On the other
hand, I fear vomiting and complications. I’m pretty healthy going into this and
I have been trying to limit carbs and get more exercise in the last few weeeks.
I have my list of what I will need to have on hand when I come home.
As I have my own business, limousines, I will be working up to the 28th.
Probably a good thing!! I made my will and power of attorney. I have an
answering service lined up to take my phone calls for a few days. I know I
won’t be working for sometime because I am lifting often and I know that will be
a no - no for a while.
My family is concerned but supportive. I am as ready now as I will ever be and
I just want it to be over so I can get on with the rest of my life with my new
pouch.
Barbara H., thanks for always being blatantly honest and sharing your knowledge.
You continue to inspire me.
All words of wisdom, comments and prayers are welcome!!
As the holidays approach, may you each enjoy a happy healthy holiday season and
good health for the coming year.
As for me……. I will enjoy a few potato latkes for Chanukah with my family
this Sunday and will look forward to enjoying ONE next Chanukah!!
