Topic: Surgery Scheduled January 25th
Start liquid diet on Monday the 18th. Took pre WLS pictures today. OMG! I had no idea my legs were that big. Getting anxious. Any suggestions for good tasting protein drinks without the chalky flavor are welcome.

Topic: RE: Temp PANIC!!!
THANKS!
That is just what I needed to hear. It hurt so hard at first since the idea of the surgery coming true seemed like a dream... and unfortunately too many dreams have been smashed in my life.
I'm not sure I will fully believe it is real until it is done.
I want this so bad... I want to be sucessful... I just want to be NORMAL... not skinny, not perfect... just normal. This weight has made my life lonely and I am tired of that... I want to LIVE!
I am keeping up my plans to clean up apt and take down christmas village so that when I get back from hosptial I can sit and enjoy the apt and not worry about all the stuff I see that needs to be done.
Please Breathe also... We will make it to this great new birthday we will have!!
Thanks again.

Topic: RE: 2 more days until surgery
Good luck and we'll see you on the losers bench very soon
I was absolutely terrified of going under for my op so much so that I even left a sealed message for my husband if I didn't make it through ..........it was over before I knew it and with no complications .....and the sealed letter is still in the bedroom drawer......just remember you have people who will be thinking and praying for you and will support you on your journey to becoming the real you
Take care and think of all the great things to come

Topic: 10 Days until my RE-Birthday!!!
In exactly ten days, on January 26, 2010 I will be having WLS, in my case the Gastric Sleeve. I'm excited and nervous, exhilarated and pensive... in other words I'm an emotional mess! Still, I'm convinced that this is the best thing I can do for myself, so I'm calling the day of my WLS my Re-Birthday and plan to celebrate it faithfully in the years to come.
Topic: 5 MORE DAYS!!!!
I can't believe that I'm finally having my surgery in just 5 days!!!! I am sooooooo excited! I have be waiting for this for a LONG time!!! And now it's finally here!!! I am very proud of myself, My "friends" have tried to corrupt me these past couple of weeks by inviting me out to eat and to parties with lots of food. But I have been standing my ground and saying "NO!!" I have always been "the fat friend" and I know that they do not want me to lose weight. They know that in just a few more days I will be on my way to becoming "the skinny friend" LOL. They will be ok though, and if they're not oh well who needs 'em!! Ok thanks for letting me rant!!

Topic: RE: Temp PANIC!!!
Hang in there, you still have enough time to hear back from them before your surgery. Take a big breath and think positively. I am sure everything will work out. Hell, I am four days away from surgery and have to keep reminding myself to breathe. ;)
Topic: Temp PANIC!!!
I have been waiting and working toward this surgery for the last 6 months... I was approved in October and then changed doctors so I had to get approved again. That came through early December. Surgery is scheduled 1/26/10. Today I received a call from Dr. Office that the procedure is on the list of excluded for coverage for this year. That was a huge surprise.
After an hour and calls to and from my HR. I found out that it indeed should not be excluded but will take a few days to update the system since Monday is a holiday.
During that hour, my heart was going to explode... All of my dreams of a normal life were in jepardy..
I wasn't sure If I would throw up, scream, or explode..
I won't breath easy until dr. office has it reconfirmed, but I feel better after HR said they talked to the insurance rep for our plan and will get that fixed.
Sorry, I had to vent... I will be okay when the adrenaline wears off... I now have to go bowl... but I'll be back.. Thanks for listening.
