approved!

Feb 21, 2012

So, this morning I was up at 5:00 to get to Ottawa for my appointment...ok...It's not like I needed 3 hours to get ready.... I was excited!
My boyfriend and I left by 6:45 and arrived WAY early! Luckily this gave us enough time to hit Tim's for a tea. I didn't really care for the tea but i wanted a roll up... and I WON!!!! a freakin' donut..... anyone want it?!?! LOL 
 
So we met with Dr. Yelle, very nice and made me feel at ease. I have been approved and have no health factors against me except my weight...no diabetes, no sleep apnea, no high blood pressure.... So..... GREEN light!!!
He talked about all the risks and answered all my questions before i could ask them! I didn't leave with a surgery date but was told to expect a call in a day or 2.
I picked up the Optifast and got mostly chocolate based on what I have read about the vanilla, but I still got some anyway so I can play with the flavors.....How much weight can I hope to lose while taking Optifast? I guess that could have been something to ask! DUH.... So anyone out there know?!

Man am I happy! My birthday is in.......7 weeks....the big 4-0...... the number doesn't scare me.... sure I have noticed a lot of changes lately.... the face is a little more wrinkled, the eyes are fuzzier than usual, and well, the knees.... they have been complaining for a while but now I hear them loud and clear..... With this surgery I am looking forward to the next 40 years.... (and more)
