Finally... I can have surgery!!!

So you may wonder why I am excited for surgery! Over the last six months I have been on 9 pills a day to help fix my slightly enlarged heart! The doctors found that it was not normal when I had some testing done for my Lap-Band surgery and the whole process was put on hold! I am beyond thankful that this condition was found, but devestated because the new life I wanted sooo bad was not going to be an option! So over the last 6 months there has been many tears of sadness and what if's but finally yesterday I had tears of HOPE!! After having yet another heart test, I was finally given the news from my Cardiologist that surgery was a go!! WOO HOO! I was soo excited I couldn't stop smiling and practically ran up to the surgeons office to get the process going again!! SO once everything goes through I could be looking at a date in December! I am hopeing for the 11th of December since he only does them on thursdays, and I have to be on protein shakes for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after! So my last day of food would be thanksgiving and the day that I would be back to eating, an extremely motified diet would be christmas day!! Everyone is telling me to wait until the new year, but since I am doing this to get healthy for the rest of my life, why not start now! I have to learn, and the Holidays are when we all eat too much, so it is the best time in my eyes!! So FINALLY, I get my chance and I am soo excited! I see my surgeon next tuesday so I will update more then! Thanks for the support!!
