excited
May 20, 2009
I'm getting very very excited for my upcoming surgery. Really it's all I can think about. I have so much to do before June 1st. I have my final clearance appointment Friday morning, gotta clean my house, gotta shop for the things I'll need after surgery.
I'm getting nervous about my surgery, because I have a history of depression and the psychologist made that seem like an issue. However, I attend group therapy and have a private therapist. So, really I have a good support system, plus I've been off antidepressants for a year now and I feel great. Also, my therapist gave me a great review. Once I have my final clearance everything will be submitted to my insurance company for approval. My surgeon told me last week that BCBS usually approves within 1-2 business days. I really don't want the whole depression thing to hold up my surgery!
On a lighter note I decided to start my pre-op diet a little early. I started yesterday mostly because I had no food in the house and I refused to go shopping for anything else. I've lost 6lbs since last Thursday. I'm thrilled about that. The more weight I lose and the closer I get to my surgery date the more I want to get out of this fat body.
Until next time.
