My surgery is scheduled for three weeks from tomorrow. It will be here before I know it. I have an appointment scheduled with Dr. B next week to go over all of the details. Funny thing is I thought that appointment was today so I rushed all the way over to his office only to have the woman at registration tell me it's next week. She was really nice about it and offered to call down to see if they could fit me in since I was already there. I told her not to worry about it, that I would come back next week when I'm suppose to.
I have been feeling pretty positive about my surgery. I am a little bit nervous as I know that the complications are much more significant than with the band but I'm not overly worried. I feel really prepared and so ready to move on. I finally told my boss at work that I will be having surgery on Nov. 3. I didn't tell her that it was a revision to a bypass, just that I had a hernia that needed to be repaired. I have only told one co-worker about the surgery because I trust her and she has been very understanding and non-judgemental. My boss is great but I don't need someone elses expectations put on me. My sister, husband, my son's stepmom (she's one of my best friends), and a few very close friends are the only people I have shared this with. I am so fortunate to have such a nice group of supportive people in my life. I honestly don't think I could do this without their support and unconditional love!!!
Next Wednesday I will begin my two week liquid diet. I expect this to be a little be difficult but I know I can get through it! As it stands now, my band is so sensitive that I basically stick with soft, mushy foods or liquids anyway! I am going grocery shopping this weekend to stock up on all of my supplies so I will prepared and ready to go next week.
Off I go for a busy afternoon! I will check in again before my surgery. I hope you are all healthy and happy!!!
Warm regards,
Jenn
