Surgery 19 November, 2012...as of today (24 February 2013) down 100 pounds -  currently 218! This is the LEAST I have weighed since the early-1980s, and I feel GREAT! The one small glitch in the road (dehydration brought on by a bad case of the flu) was handled quickly and efficiently by the staff at Village Surgical/Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. Why the dickens didn't I do this SOONER? Buyer's remorse? Not yet - and hopefully never! Do I still "lust" after some of my old eating habits? Sure - but my health and well-being count for far more than a bag of Fritos, a chimichanga, or a Coke.

Kinda halfway through the "vetting" process. Psych done, cardiac done, labs done. See the dietician for my first interview on Wednesday. Next visit with the surgeon is on October 30 @ 8:50. Surgery has already been scheduled for 19 November, so there go the holidays, lol. Have 2 more months on the physician-supervised diet/exercise regimine before submitting to the insurance companies. Lotta hoops and paperwork, but it will be worth it just to be HEALTHY again!
