SEE TODAYS ENTRY ON MY OTHER BLOG FOR MY DAILY RANTINGS....LOL

Hubby has finally come around to the idea of me having this surgery.  He was/is scared that I am going to die if I have it done.....what he didn't realize was that if I keep this excess weight on my body then I will probably die from that.  He is being supportive now....he even walked with me the other day.  He is leaving again on Friday and won't be back till the 23rd of Feb.  He told me that he would stay at his current job for a few months more than what he had originally wanted to so that I can have WLS.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Valorie from the center called me today and I feel 100% better about what I am doing with my 6 month diet.  She said that I didn't have to join Weight Watchers or anything like that I just had to do whatever my PCP told me to do.  If he said that I needed to join WW then that is what I would have to do, if he said to be on a 1600 calorie diet then that is what I need to do.  So we will see.  I just dont' want to go through this whole process just to be shot down and not approved.  I can't wait till next Friday when I find out if I have lost any weight!!!  :) 

My DH baked cookies yesterday and as soon as I walked in the door I smelled them.  I had to have one!!!  No will power!! Or was it because I was hungry because all I had all day was a bowl of chicken noodle soup and some wheat thins. 

I have figured out that I LOVE yogurt!!  :)  Especially the mousse kind.  I probably am not supposed to have that kind but it is awesome!!

Will try to do better!  Pray for me!!

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for Zach's birthday yesterday.  This weekend was not a good "diet" weekend.  I ate pizza, drank cokes, and ate lots and lots of bread!!!!  I have got to do better this week!!  :)

Well the center called me today about my insurance.  I have to be on a 6 month supervised diet (that I already knew) and I have to go see a nutritionalist and have the phsycological evaluation.  It's going to be a long 6 months!!  I have an appointment with Dr. Avara on the 8th of February for my physical exam to see how much he wants me to lose before surgery.

My husband is not liking that I am having this done.  He is threatening to take my name off of his insurance.  If he does that it will be another long wait.  Please pray for me.

I called the center to see if they had heard from the insurance company yet.  And of course they haven't.  She said that she would put in the second call today.  I am so impatient.  I feel like I am the only person in the world that has had to wait on their insurance to approve something but I know that I am not.  More waiting to come....  :)

I am now waiting for the center to call me and let me know exactly what my insurance company says that I need before I get the surgery done.  I hate waiting. 

Today I went to my PCP to tell him that I wanted to have gastric bypass surgery.  I HATE my insurance.  I have to wait 6 months...because according to them I need to be on a doctor supervised diet.  I wish that there was a way around that. 

Tomorrow I am going for my first consultation with Dr. Avara.  :-)  Maybe things will look better for me.
