I'm pretty excited about this... Haven't shared with many people but I have recently had my group meeting with the surgeon I had registered with last year. Thinking they had forgotten about me I decided to start dieting and believe that this wasn't going to happen...
My mother kept trying to convince me to call them so I gave him and promised her I'd call the next day. It just so happened that the next morning they called to confirm a group meeting (information session) with other candidates and the surgeon!
Following this meeting I had my first private appointment with my surgeon and I was so relieved when he assured me I was the perfect candidate! Going back to 2 years ago when the other surgeon was trying to push me to choose another type of surgery... I felt really relieved that this surgeon was actually siding with my decision and giving me the choice.
After 3 years of researching, meeting with doctors, deception and anxiety I am finally so many steps closer. The best part was receiving the letter confirming my admission on the surgery waiting list. I consider this such a big milestone in my journey.
My plan right now is to continue eating healthy and follow my doctors' advice very carefully (both my surgeon and my family doctor). I am looking forward to what the next steps will be.
