Time is dragging on although I know that every moment that passes is a moment closer to the day of my surgery. I just wish it was here NOW!! Anyway, today I went to my family Doctor for my final preop appoinmtent to go over all the paperwork and test results. All the tests were fine except my liver test. The enzyme levels that were tested came back slightly elevated, which could mean one of two things. Either it is simply symtomatic of the fact that I am morbidly obese and have what most people my size have, a fatty liver or it could be a stone left over in the duct from where my gall bladder was removed last year. Needless to say, when my Doctor told me all this, immediate panic set in and I began to think of what I would do and how I would feel if for some reason the surgery was postponed or cancelled. My Doctor was great and assured me that she was certain that it was a symptom of my weight and the surgery would only improve this issue.

I am pushing myself every minute to be positive and keep pushing forward in this process and not to allow myself to worry about the possibility of it not happening. I have just waited so long for the opportunity to seriously deal with my weight and all that goes a long with being my size. Words cannot express my feelings surrounding the amazing gift of this process. I am so very grateful to be moving forward to become the best Allison that I can be....from the inside out!

Gonna just keep moving forward....
