At 4:45pm the surgeons office called to let me know I had gotten insurance approval for the surgery. I feel like 1000 lbs is off my shoulders. I was really concerned that they were going to deny me because I didn't have any health related issues...yet. Thank god for my husbands great insurance.
My orginal date for surgery was 4/5/07 but because of DR Iannace's schedule they moved it to the 11th. At this point I don't care as long as I'm approved :)

Both my children got pink eye and then Oooooooo so sharefully gave it to me. I honestly don't think I could have washed my hands more often or the bedding and clothes.
Tuesday I have my psych. evaluation. I'm excited to get that over with. The receptionist did mention it may take two sessions to get all the info the DR needs. All I can say is "whatever it takes".

Called insurance today to find out what exactly they want in the PCP notes from 6month supervised diet. They didn't have an answer for me. That's when it hit me. Some things in life I cannot control. I can only ask the DR to be as specific as possible and the rest is in the hands of the insurance company. Soooooooooo I just need to tell my brain to shut up and stop thinking so much.

I spoke to my husband and his words of advice were if not this year than next...this did not make me feel better AT ALL. I called my friend and she said don't even allow negative thoughts in. So much easier said than done. I just want some assurance from someone(insurance) that I'm doing what I need to do. THAT'S ALL I WANT..but sadly I have to wait until Monday morning to call.
So many people have gone through much more than I have to get this surgery. I have no right to complain..right? I tell myself this but at the same time I know the 20 yrs of pain, self hatred, disappointments. I wish I could turn off the damn voice in my head.

I went to the gym yesterday. They have free babysitting so the girls (3 1/2 yrs and 17 months) got to play while Mama worked out. I did 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill and 5 miles on the bicycle. I'm not really worrying about losing weight at this point more building my endurance so I can hit the ground running post surgery. My goal is to get the the gym 5 times a week and do half an hour on the treadmill and half an hour on the bike. Post surgery after DR OK's me I'd love to start taking some classes. I just wanted to be the healthiest me I can be.
Tenative Date set

1/22/07
Last friday Tobey gave me my tenative date of 4/05/07. I still have two more months of supervised diet and my psych eval. I did spoke with the nutritionist on Monday. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.
As a Christmas gift to each other my Husband and I joined a gym this week. (We were out of the country for Christmas) I'm really looking forward to building my stamina with cardio pre-surgery. Then as soon as the DR OK's me getting back to the gym and helping every lb and inch melt off.
