Today could potentially effect not only the next 18-24 months of my life, but the rest of my life. How crazy is that?
We'll be leaving at 4pm today to head to Winston-Salem for the first step in this gastric bypass journey. I'm required to go to an informational seminar (called PAVE) where I will turn in my packet, and then the waiting game begins. I must be "deemed a candidate" and then my insurance must approve to cover me. Those are my biggest prayers right now.
Last night I watched the Dr. Oz show where he had a colonoscopy on tv. The entire show reminded me of my Memaw, and how sick she was for over 6 years with colon cancer. This is just one of the many reasons I want to go forward with gastric bypass-- I want to eliminate "obesity" as one of my risk factors for colon cancer.
So I'm looking forward to today with nerves, but excited to be on the road to a healthier me!
