Don't you just hate when other people make a misteak and then try to put it on you!?
I had a scheduled phone course on March 1st, 3:00pm. I recieved a letter in the mail states so, as well as TWO phone calls, one being the phone call to set up the appointment, and the second being a reminder, both stating March 1st. 3:00 PM lol..
So March 1st 3:00, impatiantly waiting by the phone and 10 minutes goes by.. 15..20..45...AN HOUR and still no call!
I finally picked up the phone at 4:00 and called them asking what was up!
Come to find out I had the date wrong? hmph. No, I'm sorry. It was not me, it was YOU lady! Like I mentioned, I had THREE documents telling me it was at this time. Well it must have been a typo because its next week March 8th. Well thanks, you are only stalling my life change for another week..
A week is a long time for those of us awaiting something so important!
So now my 10 weeks starts March 8, meh. Untill then I am changing my life for the surgery, its tough but I'm doing it!
I am 3 weeks off of pop (or soda for anyone not in Minnesota
)
Went from 304lbs to 298!!!
Working out more!
Taking my vitamins daily!
Eating MUCH better
Reaching an awesome goal of 65+ ounces of water EVERYDAY!! (From 0!!)
I definetly have much more energy, I'm thinking from the b12 and water. I just generally feel BETTER and more ... hmm toxin free? I feel like my body is getting rid of all the bad stuff and making room for the good :)

Getting closer!

Today I went to see my dietician and got packed full of useful information!
I got all kinds of great recipes and good food to eat before and after the surgery. The restrictions are actually quite reasonable and I am very satisfied!
I know am at about 95% with my checklist of things to do before sending in everything to my insurane company to be varified.
I start my 10 week phone course (A learning course) first class is tomorrow! 9 weeks to go!
And another 2-3 visits with my physocologist! My next appointment being at the end of March. A little ways off but it will give me time to lose the 16 lbs needed before the surgery. I actually have already lost 3lbs so 13 to go!

Starting my journey !
Feb 25, 2012
My first attempt at getting weight loss surgery was a big fail.At age 19, I was jumping through the endless insurance hoops, and dealing with some well.. not so smart people, it was just a disaster. Being about 90% complete, I was told I was "to unstable" to be approved for the surgery and needed another 6 months of seeing a psychologist.
After reading the evaluation she had written about our visits I soon realized this lady was the unstable one, not me!
I literally thought I was reading someone elses results, she had such important information about me, that was completely untrue!
Ex. She had written that my step-father was a 50 year old consturction worker, in reality my step-father is a 37 year old tow truck driver. I clearly would no lie about something so silly! Line after line I was reading such rediculous things like stated above and was blown away! The woman constantly was on vacation and I could never get a hold of her to schedule appointments, and the ones I was scheduled were so widely timed out, 2-3 months between visits while she went on skiing trips in the Netherlands.
Taking two years out of my life, just to be told it was all for nothing, was kind of a big let down. All of my previous work "expired" All of my weigh in's were no longer current and everything was worthless at this point. Then being told to do another 6 months, ugh! I decided to take a break from it.
Here I am, 21 years old, and ever more determined than the first time I am back at it!
Unlike the first try, this time IT WILL happen for me. I can feel it in my bones (Yep, even under all that fat!) :)
Everything is working out so smoothly for me, its almost to good to be true!
I have a great staff working with me, and actually listening!
I started my journey at the beginning of February of 2012. So far I have gotten so much completed, I could just scream!
I've been to the class to learn about the surgery. Step one complete.
I have seen my nurse to get measurments, and weigh ins. Step two complete!
I have ALREADY seen my psychologist once, and already have my second appointment with him (Only 2-3 more visits!)
I have my appointment with my nutrionist set for this week. (Only need 1 visit!)
Blood work this week.
And a 10 week phone course first appointment for this Tuesday! (10 weeks to go!)
Lose 15 lbs
Send in everything for insurance approval!
So far, but SO close!
I am hoping by July (anytime sooner is just fine with me) but I would like to be realistic. July seems like a good amount of time to get everything complete, and hear back from insurance, and get a date set. It's a ways away but I've found the months to fly by !
Wish me luck! I'm not giving up!
