I have been on this journey since December of last year. It has been a process of getting me here mentally and emotionally and I am grateful for the time to get my head right. But waiting for all of the pieces to fall into place is killing me. Originally the dr's office indicated the surgery would be on Aug 19. Not going to happen. They weren't able to get me scheduled for my pre-op testing until the 16th. Also, they stated I have to meet with the nutritionist before that appointment and to wait for the information to be mailed to me. But I still haven't received said information. This is driving me nuts! I know I have to be patient, but I feel like they are dragging their feet. I get that this is what they do day in and day out but I am so anxious, nervous, and excited that I really need this to happen so I can calm down (and so the eye twitch I seem to have developed will go away)! With the timeline they are giving me now, it looks like it will be mid September for surgery. Just feeling very frustrated at the moment. I know I will get there but now that I have made the decision it just seems to be taking longer and longer to get where I am headed.
 
That is my plan for tomorrow. I just got home and checked my mail again, but the information is still not here. I really do understand they have a process and it takes the amount of time it takes. They do this all the time. My nerves are just frazzled. I do best knowing when things are going to happen. The not knowing is what drives me insane. But I will get there. Just needed to vent a bit, lol.
 
I will have to do that once I know I have overcome all of my obstacles. I did speak to someone this morning who is going to have a dietician call me within 48 hours. While I was talking to her, I did find out that due to the hospital's policy, the surgery has to be done within 30 days of the pre-op testing. So at the latest (and this is assuming my pre-op testing comes back all good) surgery will be 9/16/19. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! :D
