Hallelujah!!!! Surgery date has been announced! Amen.

Aug 30, 2012

I got a call from Christa at Dr. Leslie's office today while i was on a break at work and she told me that i was APPROVED for surgery.   She wanted to schedule the surgery today with me!   I had talked to her last week and she was getting ready to submit to the insurance company (Preferred One) and i had met with Dr. Leslie on Tuesday and i had lost 19 pounds since the last visit with the dietician approx. 2 months ago.  I was so excited when i saw those numbers on the scale!  I have 8 LB's left to go!!!!!!!!  I could jump for joy!!  She got the approval within one day!  I had read on other people's posts how hard it could be and it was so easy.  Well.... i also did not rush it either and took the time with Dad and had each and everything done in due time. 
I have my sweet angel Dad watching over me and keeping me safe. 


My cousin Kim  had her RNY last Wed. and she is doing great!  I have more support from my family!  I was talking with her sister's and parent's about the surgery at a family funeral last Thursday and i am excited to have so many  people cheering for me and Kim!

So happy to have my friend Jenna and some other people who crossed over to the "other side" of the weight loss bridge, if you will!  I am encouraged but am very cautious to know that this is not a cake-walk but a "walk away from the cake".....lol j/k!

I will write more later but if anyone reads this i can use any feedback, encouragement, etc.   Being a nurse i am so nervous of possible complications and want to be realistic but also positive.  Also....any hints on getting the last 8-10 lbs off????

Have a safe labor Day!!!!
Susie


My date is OCTOBER 15, 2012!!!!
