Hello Bloggers,
For the past couple of days I find myself not only counting down until I have surgery but also questioning my decision to have surgery..
Am I choosing the right option for me, have I read up on everything, do I really know what it will be like after the surgery? Am I prepared enough, how prepared should I be? What should I be doing leading up to the surgery?
I have surgery in 28 days I start a liquid diet on 17 Jan, my last appointment before surgery is 1/12 which is also my last day of work until 23 Feb, though I hope to be recovered enough to go back to work sooner.
Earlier this month I celebrated my 34th birthday and for the past several years i have wanted surgery so bad I could taste, now that it is actually happening and I am so close I guess I am getting a bit nervous. There is nothing I want more than to be able to see myself this time next year in at least a size 12 from my current size 22/24..
I have chosen to have the VSG and I wish more VSG'ers would come to the meetings so that we could talk, I wish I could real one on one conversations with people who have already gone through what I am choosing to go through. I have been to the VSG boards and you know it is great to read their stories and experiences but there is nothing like seeing it in real life before your eyes..
I just had to put this out there for myself.
