The Starting Line
Have you ever entered into a new, exciting and terrifying chapter of your life and wanted to document it for your own record but also in the hopes it might one day help someone in the same position? Yeah me neither... until now...
First let me clear up that this blog is NOT about me being literally cut in half (though that would be one killer magic trick) or a guide on how to phone it in as a wife. You can thank the name of the blog to my husband who has had a ball confusing people by telling them that this time next year he will have half a wife and then offering them the context of my impending surgery. (I still think it would have been funnier if he didn't elaborate and just walked out of the store with a chainsaw, just saying)
I have just started the process of getting Bariatric Surgery, and I mean literally only just, I have barely begun to dip my toes in the pool. I have a date, a surgeon and I know which surgery I am getting, as for the nitty gritty elements I only know what other people have told me and what I have found on the internet and it will likely stay that way until the end of this month when I meet with my surgeon again.
Nothing like a bit of internet research to make your mind run wild and freak yourself out right? I'm exaggerating of course, most of what I have learnt so far is pretty positive and along the same lines of listen to the advice the Dr's give you and follow the rules. However that doesn't stop me from see-sawing between excited and terrified of the upcoming surgery and what is to follow.
If you have made it this far through my rambling non explanation I offer my thanks and hope you join me on this journey. I plan on making a stats page and keeping it updated as I go for an easy reference of where I have started and where I am going, as well as blog posts diving a little deeper into how I am feeling throughout the process and whatever else I feel is relevant or that I just feel the need to get out.
Until next time keep smiling.
