It's been a whirlwhind!

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!
