Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted! So much has happened! I had my 8-week checkup and I've lost 39 pounds! My goal was 40, so that ain't too shabby! Also, I'm going back to work after 9 years! I was working out of my home doing web design, but the weight loss God sent me gave me the courage to go and apply at a software company that I've wanted to work for. I passed all their tests (and there were a ton of them!) I was asked to come back the next day for more tests, took them, then got interviewed and hired on the spot! I start training tomorrow and I'm very excited! I pray for all pre-ops and post-ops that everything is well! And if you're fighting insurance, pray and keep fighting! Love--
