Got my surgery date!
Pending insurance approval, my surgery will be January 29th. There shouldn't be much trouble getting approved because I have completed all the insurance requirements. The nurse said most approvals are coming back in less than 2 weeks. From here on out, I am to only eat 1200 calories (was supposed to do this for the last couple of months but fell off the wagon on Christmas). Three days before surgery I have to do strict clear liquids. I hope to lose at least 10 more pounds before surgery. I am so nervous for the surgery now, but I think it's the best thing for me. I can't even imagine how much my life is going to change over the next year. I can't wait to see the new me!
