Ok, I have not update my blog in a while, I have been too busy reading everyone else's posts.  I have been on the liver reduction since Jan. 5th and have done quite well on it so far.  My date is getting closer and I am starting to get more nervous.  Oh boy, I cry at everything right now.  I would like to say it's the fear of the unknown but I know that it's not.  My best friend is five months out with her DS and she loves it!   Plus, I am here so much I know what to expect.  I think some of my emotions is that my husband will be able to take me to the hospital with my mom but after I go into surgery my husband is leaving for the week on business.  My mom is staying with the kids and my inlaws are helping too.  I wish my dad would be there too but he is one of those SNOWBIRDS and is in Florida right now. 

I have my bag packed with everything I need according to all my friends here on OH.  My friend, my Angel will let everyone know how my surgery goes. 

So here I am...I decided I needed to make a change...forever.  I went to the seminar on a Monday, Friday that week I met with the internist and dietician.  The following Monday I met with the behaviorist and on Wednesday I met with the surgeon.  I had my blood drawn after the internist visit and have an upper gi scheduled on Dec. 22.  This seems to be moving along pretty fast.  Yesterday the letter was sent to the insurance company...now the waiting begins.  I am very nervous and anxious wondering how long it will be before I hear either yes or no.  This will probably be one of the most difficult part since I have already decided I want and need to do this, but now it's up to the insurance company as to whether they agree with me and my doctor.
