Late Thanksgiving.. Early Christmas.. APPROVED!
Its funny how one little word can change so much, so quickly. I went from being a crazy anxious grumpy b***h waiting to hear from my insurance, to screaming and dancing for joy in a parking lot when I read my one word email from my surgeon's administrative assistant, to trying to not to cry like a baby.
I just wanted to take the time to say the following...
~ I'm grateful and thankful for being given a tool that will not only change my life but quite possibly save it
~ I'm grateful that I'll be reaching several goals that I've always had but didn't have the courage to share with people.. (i.e. riding rollar coasters again, going kayaking with my frieinds, SHOPPING at any store I want, being able to look at myself in the mirror again, being a role model for my daughter, finding TONYA again under all my blubber) just to name a few
~I'm grateful and thankful for prefect strangers that I've never met. All of YOU who are reading this and totally understand just how much one little word means and who support not only me but everyone on here.
~I'm grateful and thankful for truly understanding the following and finally living up to it..
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Labor day weekend 2011 marked a change in me that I will never forget. I felt something snap in me. I knew I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Tired of being fat and unhappy. So I started researching WLS. I went from wanting a band, to a bypass, and finally to the SLEEVE. Which I think is perfect for me!
Happy Holidays to everyone. People who are waiting, keep up advocating for yourself. People who have had it.. I'll see you on the losers bench Monday December 19th 2011. The date of my rebirth!!!

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I was talking about the whole process, starting from your first consult. I am hoping that mine will move fairly quickly. I am doing a 6 month supervised diet now, because I thought I would need it with United Health Care. I don't have any co-morbities, so, I am hoping to knock all of the test out asap.
