The journey continues...

Nov 08, 2010

Since my last post, I have continued my low-carb diet and am now down to 250lbs.  Yes, Yes, Yes, I have met my insurance requirement for 10% of my body weight.  As the end of the year approaches, I am getting pumped about having my surgery.  I am still keeping my monthly MD appointments for my weight  monitoring, and plan to continue this thru the end of the year to ensure that the insurance can't say I didn't meet the 6 month requirement.  I will have to pay around $7500 up front to the facility!!! (Ouch)    Thank goodness I can take $5000 in my FSA  and despite the penalities I have my 401K  to use if absolutely necessary.  This time I am not letting anyone or anything stop me from doing this.  For one of the few times in my life, I am doing something for ME.  I realize this my sound selfish  but sometimes in order for our needs to me met; we have to put ourself first!  Oh well, enough rambling for now.  I really am hoping to get acquainted with some of you that might be anticipating surgery.  For those post op people, I would love to know how you are doing.
