So my weight is not moving very rapidly, but I had my 6 week check up with my surgeon and he seemed happy with my progress. He recommended I weigh AND measure weekly, he says as long as something is changing then I dont need to worry. So I did this as it has been a few weeks since I measured. I found out I am down 40 pounds from where I started and less then 100 pounds from my goal weight, so that was exciting to think of it that way! I also found that I have lost a total of 36.5 inches! I was pretty stoked about that. Guess thats why Im constantly pulling my pants up! I found out also that my surgeon is leaving the state. He will be moving to phoenix I guess... This is kind of concerning to me, but he did say he would be sending letters to the PCP so they know what blood work to watch and when to check etc. They are supposed to bring a new surgeon to take his place I guess. I meet with him one more time before he leaves which will be on july 11th. So hopefully we will know more then! The weight is slow moving but I do feel better every day! 

I am pretty new to this site and really joined for support and the place to blog where the people reading would understand what I was talking about. So here I am about a week later and finally writing my first blog. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow well technically later this afternoon since its 1am. I have completed the requirments from insurance and Im not really sure what to expect. I am hoping for a surgery date or at least an approval notice... But not sure exactly what to expect. I am terrified that I will have to go through an additional length of time for diet and exercise requirments as that is what I had to do last time. It wouldnt be so terrifying if my job were more stable feeling. I have been there for over 7 years, now there is talk of a buy out and firings all over the place, possible lay offs. Its a mess and so stressful and I have been trying to hold on and think positive but its just so hard sometimes. Its like hope for the best and prepare for the worst... Blah.  Here goes for hoping for the best tomorrow!
