Okay… I’m well on my way. I just finished my 3^rd Options Class that leaves me 21 more to go. I’ve gained about 10lbs, but since I’ve started these classes I’m back down 5lbs. I feel accountable and I want to try and get off as much as I can before my surgery. A few things have changed with my Kaiser class, they no longer require you to loose 10% of your body weight prior to surgery, however the surgeon could decide the day you meet to have you bring that weight down a peg or two so “if you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready”. <------ That was Suga Free!! Hee Hee

I checked my Kaiser site to see if I had any scheduled appointments and low and behold. My first Option class will be here in no time and I can’t wait. Oh boy… I’m so excited. Wow…I’ll be on the looser bench in no time. To all my OH Friends who told me to be patient, I Thank You.  

I called Kaiser today to see where I am on the waiting list to start my required six months of Options classes. Debbie kindly told me I should receive a letter in the mail in 3-6 months telling me when my class will start, and if I don’t receive a letter after 3 months (from 12/14/07) that’s when I should call back. I picked up my jaw and proceeded to tell her thanks for the info. 

Why did I wait so long to get the ball rolling?? Oh yeah I didn’t have health insurance. Well I’ve officially started cutting back, since I decided to go through with the surgery I’ve used that as my ticket to eat what ever I want. I can’t go 3-6 more months at this rate. My heart will literally burst right out of my chest. Today I’ve started cutting back… I could loose 20-30 more pounds and still have no problem qualifying for the surgery.

Yep it was an orientation. There were two speakers who basically gave us the history of the Gastric Bypass surgery… You can see one live on Jan 18, 2008 @ orlive.com, go to the website and request a reminder...I can’t wait. 

Kaiser is so backed up that I may not be able to start my classes until some time in February or March of 2008. The demand is for evening classes and I think right now they only have about 1 or 2 a week. I think I’ll be okay… December is about to end… I have the New Year coming up January… My husband and I will have our 1 year anniversary in February , plus our son will be two February 28^th.  I plan to be busy for the beginning of 2008- before I know it I will be starting my Kaiser classes.

I've put on about 20 extra pounds just since I received my referral and I know it's because I plan to have the surgery... Isn't the mind somthing?? I'll be on the looser side in no time.
