I am officially 7 weeks out and have lost 51 pounds. I am seeing and feeling differences in my body. I have had days that I have struggled. This has not been an easy road, and no one ever said it would be. I have also had days that it felt like I didnt even have the surgery. I have learned to change my eating habits and am still trying to get the excerise portion down. I still have to force myself to exercise. I have always wanted to be a runner, and within the past couple years have started expressing interest in a Spinderella bike tour that they do here in my town it is a 23 mile bike ride, so I am setting goals to work towards doing these couple of things. I have a wonderful support group (especially my husband). So for right now I am taking it one day at a time.

I received the call today!! I was about ready to jump out of my skin with anticipation. The doctors office called and told me that December 20th is the day! I will have to have my blood drawn and ultrasound done on the 18th. Dietician orientation on the 19th and then surgery on the 20th I cannot believe it is happening. I have worked so hard for so long to get to this point that it feels surreal. Now the countdown begins!

Thursday October 24  I had my last visit for my six month supervised diet. I also had my orientation class with Dr. Simper. They told me that they would be sending all my information to the insurance company and that it is usually 1-2 weeks before we will hear anything. Fingers crossed. I am biting my nails with anticipation. I hope it gets approved.
