I got my Surgery date

  • JULY 20th WOW it has me freaked out a bit, I just got the news about an hour ago.

    I have not been around the site for a while because focusing so much on getting my approval was causing me so much stress I was making myself sick (literally) and since i stopped focusing on it so much I have not had a bulimic episode in around 3 months or even the desire. I also talked to my meds tech and she said the fact that she had upped my meds at that time could have increased my stress and tendency to have bulimic episodes and that a month is about the time it takes to get over side effects like that.
    I did talk to my dr and give him her information and they dont thnk it will effect me and since i got approved it is all good.

    I guess I will be around more now.

    I want to thank everyone who gave me advice before
  • I was just checking out *New Threads* and saw this. I wish you MUCH luck. Listen to your docs AND your body
  • You will do fine and you'll have all the great people here for advise. Good luck to you I wish you the best
  • it is actually going to be the First week in August, I forgot I had made the only plans I had for the rest of the year for the 26th, I am hosting a band at my house and I figure 2 weeks is only 2 weeks where as I may never get to hang out with these people i like again since they only come to town every few years and the last time I missed seeing them.
  • Congrats!
    I haven't been on in awhile either lol...
    Anyway, congratulations on your date! The time will fly and drag from here on in... but it's going to be a wild ride!
  • congrats, Spooky!!!! and here's to a new beginning for you!!!!
