I was finally approved and my surgery is scheduled for 10/31. That's right, Halloween! One of my fave holidays. But, I'll be spending it flat on my back with a tube down my throat and my stomach being removed.
Additionally, I found out last week that I am diabetic. Full-blown, crazy sugar levels, diabetic. Not cool. So, I've been trying a couple meds to get that under control. My PCP and surgeon's office say that it really shouldn't be an issue after surgery. Hope they're right.
AND- during my pre-op testing I found out I have lots of gallstones so I have to have my gallbladder removed during my sleeve surgery as well.
So, yeah, I'm feeling overwhelmend. I'm on day 3 of the pre-op diet and it sucks. I'm emotional, tired, hungry, grumpy. I'm a bear to be around, I know it. I'm lucky to have such an awesome family. And I know this is temporary!
