I HAVE A DATE!!!

And it's only a week away from today! OMG!! 

I finally had my appointment with Dr. Nick last Thursday, August 8th.  I couldn't find anyone to watch my 3 kids so they went with us.  I was a little worried but we loaded them up with electronics and they were perfect.  We sat in the tiny waiting room for over an hour and they were so well behaved. 

We finally get called back and my official weight that I'm using for my highest weight and pre-surgery weight is 198.8.  UGGG So depressing but I refuse to ever see that number again!!

Dr. Nick comes in and goes over my EGD and talk about the hernia repair.  He asks me when I want to schedule surgery and I told him I originally wanted the 20th but I heard he was booked that day and he cuts me off and says, "So, let's do the 19th at Surgery Center of Richardson."   Umm, wow! I wasn't expecting it that soon, but OK! 

I got all of my pre-op paperwork including pre-op diet and post -op info, signed a consent and left the doctor's office in shock.

I am doing it! I am actually doing it!  I have a surgery date and it's less than 2 weeks away! 

The first day I was very scared and started questioning my decision but now I'm ok and I know I am making the right decision.  I am very excited about it and can't wait to get it done and started.
