surgery is upcoming

Feb 02, 2010

I don't know where to even start.  I switched jobs in October of 2009, and I have new insurance.  In December I submitted to the insurance company, and my new insurance approved it within a week.  I am dumbfounded and scared.  I was so used to being "rejected" I was really stunned when I was approved.  Of course, I still need the surgery more than ever.  I'm realtively healthy for someone my size.  I have borderline hypertension and that is it. 

I started the liquid diet on the 25th, I weighed 303.  It was a real struggle, dealing with how much one relies on food.  I'm doing alot better on the liquid diet, but i've struggled with terrible headaches.  It's  currently the 2nd of feb and i've lost 7 pounds on the liquid diet part.  My surgery is scheduled for FEB 8th.  I'm so excited and nervous.  I just keep thinking, I'll be able to ride bikes, with my daughters, play fall softball, things i would always like to do, but haven't because of my weight.  Of course, I will love shopping for cute clothes.  I would love advice or encouragement from people.  I haven't been on this site for awhile...but would love to know what to expect...ect from other post op people.  Keep the faith!!!
