Updating my journey

Nov 10, 2011

So my life is always crazy and I have been slacking on my posts.  I had to have three months of supervised weight loss, medical clearances, psych clearances and blood work.  Everything went swimmingly.  My doctor wanted me to lose 20 pounds so he could do a single incision laproscopic procedure and I official lost 20.2 pounds at my pre-op appointment on 11/9. 

Now everything has been submitted to insurance and the dreaded waiting game begins.  My doctor doesn't forsee a problem, but I am still a little nervous.  He said it will take about 3-4 weeks until we get the approval.  During that time I will take a post-op nutrition seminar and will be assigned a tenative surgery date.  I am really hoping we can still get this done early in December so I do not have to miss any school come January!

My daughter is going through some things right now and I have a lot on my plate with her doctor appointment and therapists.  She was also just diagnosed with sleep apnea, so now we are waiting for an ENT and she will have to get surgery to remove her tonsils and adnoids.  I had it done when I was about her age, but it still scares me, she is my baby! 

I am constantly busy with school and my daughter's doctors so I am hoping it keeps my mind off the waiting!
