Its official!

Oct 24, 2011

So I got the final approval from my insurance! And after just a minor hiccup of being approved for the wrong surgery that is now all straightened out now, everything is on track for surgery 11-7-11. I am so excited! Although I agree with my dad (2 years post-op) now that I got the approval I have so many butterflies of "what did I get my self into". I just keep reminding myself that while this is a big step, it is what I want and that I have done hours of research, talking to people and everything will be ok. I think I am mostly on edge because I have never had any type of surgery before... I am so blessed to have such a supportive boyfriend, and all around supportive "village" around me through this. There incouragement has definitely helped my worry-wartness :)
I can not wait for all the energy I will have. I have lots of projects that I want to do and that have been just waiting for me to start. I have been feeling so sluggish for so long I have just kept putting them on the back burner. I want to get back to school, I have some home repairs... lots of things to distract me from any thoughts of cheating on my post-op diet.  I also have not bought any clothing for a long time now knowing the surgery was coming. My mom and I went shopping this weekend and I am so excited that very soon I will be able to buy clothes in normal stores and have more choices of styles. Well I am starting my count down until surgery: 14 Days!!
