Got The Call! Today is the first day of the rest of my life!
Dec 31, 2007
Happy New Year! Oh Happy Day! I am scheduled for January 15th for surgery. It will be a revision from a failed VBG to a RNY.
Suddenly now all my years of effort and discouragement has moved into a New Year's Re-Solution and the inside pressure has changed from years of trying to get help into a new anxiety about the reality of the dramatic change that is inevitably going to happen within the next two weeks!
It's a major shift and I feel a little stunned. Seemed like I fought for this forever and now it is about to happen for real.
I pray I will not do anything to blow it.
I can hardly believe this is happening after all these years of living with a failed surgery. I must have fallen into some form of resignation.
Now I not only dare hope, but I need to make my self ready for the real changes. Now I seem to have a lot of questions about the next steps and the next expectations that were aborted in my failed surgery in 97.
I want to say that I am extremely grateful for this place and this people, where I can share my feelings, progress and concerns. If this kind of support community would have been available back then, I'm sure I would not have wasted the last 10 years living with a failed surgery. Support and communication are so precious and valuable. This is a pivotal point in my life and I am 60 years old.
I will appreciate any wisdom or feedback.
