Yay! My surgery date has been set for November 7th, one month away. I'm so excited. Not for surgery of course, but for getting my next chapter in life going.
First up will be the endoscopy, then visits to the psychologist, the dietician and a GP. All of this is before my actual surgery date.
I'm looking forward to starting 2015 as a whole new person with a much better outlook on life.
I've joined a couple of groups online that are for 'Sleevers' as we are called lol and it is interesting to see what other people have done, how they have coped, what they have gone through.
The one constant I have noticed is that everyone has been successful :)
Aside from the occasional person who has had a lot of pain post surgery, or trouble with flavours etc, everyone is happy they have had the surgery done. That in itself gives me such a great feeling.
It does feel strange still that I have made this completely and utterly selfish choice to do this. This operation is completely for me, because I want it done, and that feels really strange. I feel guilty, but, at the same time, I am not backing out.
I know I need this and I know this is exactly what will give me back the 'me' I used to be. I know that I will be happy once I get used to everything. I already feel my confidence returning and that is huge for me.
