A date

Yep, I got my surgery date. I am going to have a sleeve on 11/29. I got back to see my doctor on 11/23 and also meet with the anesthesiologist. After that, I go to the pre-op class and I will be on my way. I have to continue trying to lose as much as possible before the 23rd or he will cancel my surgery. But, now that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I think I will be able to really buckle down and focus better. I never really "strayed" but my heart wasn't in it. Now, I am on my way, and I am so relieved.

I am also a little scared. I have all of the typical "what ifs", but I know that is all that they are. I want this, I understand what I am getting into, and I am willing to live like that for the rest of my life.

One problem I am going to have, but will work out is that my surgery is scheduled right in the middle of the semester and I will have to figure that out. Luckily, I kept thinking to myself when I was chosing my classes that I should take a light load this time and I only took English and Pharmacology. Since the classes are online, I can work while I am at home. It's doable. I just have to make sure I am a little ahead so I can take a week off. Not a problem.

I am excited, and most of my family is happy for me. My son told me last night he doesn't like the idea of the surgery, but he will respect my choices and be supportive.

Now that I have renewed commitment, I will be blogging more. I was so annoyed with myself and my progress that I couldn't find anything good to say. But I'm back  :)
