Two people I know have had their letters!
Well thats not technically true.
Matt had his Monday. His appointment is for the 17th April for his pre op assessment.
Linda rang Nia and her letter was on the way for the same date, 17th April, however she hasn’t got it yet, we think it’s got lost in the post, so another was sent out yesterday and we are hoping she gets it tomorrow.
This has made me very happy, not having a clue of anything that is going on is very frustrating. Waiting, waiting and some more waiting thats all I’ve been doing since September, so to finally know the people who are ahead of me are getting letters is very exciting.
I would have had my date for the same time as Linda, but the sleep apnea put me back by about two weeks, so I’m hoping I get my letter soon, however we have Easter coming up so that’s probably going to push me back some more, but at least I know something is going on now and can start getting a little excited (I’ve had my suitcase ready for a year!!)
I weighed yesterday and my BMI was 59.9 I’m at a weight now that I haven’t been since I moved back here nine years ago. When I first asked for surgery I think my BMI was about 75, so I’m feeling very pleased with that, though I do know that it was the Byetta that has helped me get there, thank you Clare :D
So here is to the next few weeks and hoping I get my turn!
I can see a silver lining finally :D
