17 Days and Counting!!!!
on January 31, 2011 3:17 pm
 Woot woot!!!!  Saw my surgeon for my pre-op today. He said everything is GREAT!!! My blood work came back great, and my total cholesterol is only 130!!! Imagine that, a plump person who's cholesterol is only 130!!! And he said my EKG was normal, so I am all set to go!!!! I start my pre-surgery diet on February 3rd, and surgery is right on schedule for February 17th, then. Oh yeah!!!! I got a bunch of protein powder packets from them, and a book that I have started looking at.  I am just so excited to finally get my process going and join the loser's bench. Better start warming up a seat for me, especially because here in Iowa, it might take a while to chisel the ice off the seat!!! LOL!!! Counting down to February 17th!!!!

 Approval...check. Pre-op testing...check. One step closer to getting to my surgery!!! Yea!!! I got my pre-op blood work, chest x-ray, and EKG all done today. I was surprised to see that it all only took an hour. I go meet with my surgeon on Monday, January 31st. I can't wait!!! I am so excited!!! I can't believe that I only have 20 days left until my surgery. I am so looking forward to a new, healthy me. Well, it is off to work I go, so I will write more on Monday after I meet with my surgeon!!!!!!!!!!

APPROVED!!!!!

Woot woot!!!! January 3rd, 2011. It started out as a message to call my surgeon's office regarding the status of my insurance. Of course, I was terrified to call them back because I was sure they were going to tell me that my insurance had denied the surgery. When I finally decided to call them back (like 5 minutes later) I was absolutely ecstatic to hear them say that my insurance had approved my surgery!!!! They had only had my information for 1 week!!! So fricken excited!!! New me, better health, here I come!!!! OH YEA BABY!!! I absolutely cannot wait to get my process going. Dr. VerSteeg's office is thinking my surgery will be February 17th or 18th. They are in the process of getting everything set up right now. YEA!!!
