So here's some really exciting news... for real.

Ok, so the decision has been made. I am going to move forward with my final “reconstruction stage” of weight loss surgery journey.

I called Jessica today @ Dr. Capizzi’s office and said “I’m ready as soon as we can get OR time…”

She said, “ok, (insert clickity clicks here from her perfect nails on her keypad) she said, I have time on July 2nd.”

Ummm of 2008?

HOLY COW!

Wow, that is close. Two weeks. The conversation lasted for a few more minutes, she is a ton of fun to talk to, but I can’t remember a word she said. Good thing she wasn’t relying on me to call 911 because there was some sort of catastrophe going on over at Stillwater.

I would’ve hung up only thinking about… me.

We, and when I say “we” I really mean the professional and my silly thoughts about what a body should look like had discussed what would be happening with my surgeries and what to expect.

This is a huge decision. In many ways it means I am comfortable where my body has decided to plateau after major weight loss. I am over five years out from my Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and the path to this very point in my life has been an interesting one, definitely has been more then just a “body/image” journey!

Well, I thought I would update you on my journey and as usual keep you updated on all the “ins and outs” of how it goes…

Here’s to freaking out. July 2, 2008 I will have new breasts.
