Six days Post-op!
Jul 09, 2012
Well after everything it is done! I actually feel fine, well...I get tired quickly still. I am currently trying to stay out of "negative nelly land", because I am terrified that it wont work, that I can eat too much, that I won't get the full feelings, that I will stretch my pouch already. I guess all that is normal, but still scary! Getting my protein and fluids, and trying to stay positive!

After all the stumbling blocks, I have a surgery date!!
Jun 11, 2012
My original date was June 11. Needless to say that I was a bit bummed that it was not happening. The hurry up and wait game you play with insurance sometimes sucks, but I have been keeping my eye on the prize! So even though I did not have the surgery yesterday, I did get THE call, and I am scheduled for July 3rd!! I am running the gambit of emotions right now.

Awaiting approval

So heard from the doctors office, all my specialist appointments are complete, all letters are in! They have sent everything to Insurance for final approval! I may even get to keep my tentative date of June 11, 2012. I am sooooooooo very excited!

After years of debate
May 08, 2012
So I finally made the decision to have WLS last month. I made the appointment, and have finally finished all my clearance appointments, and now I am waiting on insurance and surgery dates. I am on one hand terrified, i mean i have heard all the horror stories, and all the snide comments. I am still ready to go!
My weight has been on a steady climb since Jr. High School, but because I "carried my weight well", I always justified and accepted. Until I couldn't anymore. I started yet another diet plan, and was doing well, only to find out that I have type 2 diabetes, and hypothyroid disease. First I was like wonderful, I now know why I am tired, and my hair falls out and I get sick so often. Not so wonderful to find out that I have gained so much weight that my body is rebelling with Diabetes. That was my wake up call, that was my whoa.... I need to do something.
Food is my addiction. I smoked for a very long time, and decided one day it was time to quit, and I did. It was easy, I did not buy them, I was not around it, essentially it no longer existed. Not so with food. I HAVE to eat.
Food is also my comfort and my friend. I eat when I am happy, sad, angry, distraught and so on..
Then there is all the crap that is congnative, so much working against me. I actually JUST came to the realization that I am worth the surgery, I am worth feeling and looking good!
I want to be around for all my childrens milestones (6), I want my husband to think I am hot!
I want to be an example in a good way, not in a this is what you don't do. I want to break the cycle!
