So there I was today at my partners' post abdominoplasty visit. We are with the nurse taking off her binder and garment. When...My phone rings, it is Robin from Dr Bowers office. After apologizing for not getting back to me, she explains why...
"I have your packet here. It seems you are all ready to go excepting weight." Robin said.
"I am willing to pay the $750 fee if I am slightly over and am still losing weight at this point, and I have the payment for the surgery waiting" I replied eager to get to my date.
"Well, you see, this is abnormal. I see you are on the cancellation list. I have a cancellation I am unable to fill. Would you be interested in taking it?," she inquired as if she did not expect my immediate....
"YES! Umm when is it?"
"January 16th," my heart sank a little, until it hit me, "wait, THIS JANUARY? Like 3 days after my birthday this coming year? Like NEXT MONTH?"
"Yes. Would you care to take it? Normally you would not be able to so soon, but I cannot find anyone who can fill this one"
"Yes yes a thousand times yes. I noted on my application that I had a lipo and tummy tuck scheduled for Dec, will that impact my ability to be ready for surgery?"
"I want to say no, let me ask Dr Bowers."
"If necessary I can postpone the lipo and tummy tuck."
"Excellent, expect a surgery packet from me either tonight or Monday. See you down here soon!"
With that I hung up, my heart racing, tears in my eyes.
Someone pinch me so I know this is not a dream. I still cry every time I realize I have only 41 days left before IT IS GONE!!!!!!!
