Home today
Jul 14, 2007
Hi all. Just got home today from the hospital. Not too happy right now. I do not like hospitals (I know, who does right?) But, I literally counted the minutes until I could leave.
I am having some doubts though :( wondering if I made the right decision. Last week there wasn't a doubt in my mind. Today, I worry that I made the biggest mistake of my life :(
Ciao for now,... me

Here it goes...

Well, my first post. I have visited the sight religiously for months, created my account, but was afraid to post. But, after "meeting" so many wonderful people who have shared, ... well, here I am.
So, where am I now...
About 4 or 5 months ago, I began to educated myself about WLS. I really can't recall how I discovered it. In hindsight, I don't really know how I didn't know about it! but, I really wasn't familiar with it at all. So, I learned, and learned, and learned (I think it may be my OCD :)
One of my main concerns was finding a great surgeon. I did some research and found a "Center of Excellence" that I was comfortable with. I made an appointment.
My initial consult went well. I really like the doctor and the nurse Lisa is the best. She made me feel soooo comfortable - and sensed how scared I was. She knew just what to say to put my mind at ease.
After that, I continued with the chain of command and saw my GP, did the psych eval, nutrition classes, exercise classes, insurance contact, etc.
Now, I am one week out from my surgery date. I am going in on July 12th! I have to say, I am very excited and nervous all at the same time.
Until next time... me
