Well I got insurance approval and have a surgical date set for 2/10/09 wow... Kinda scary who would have thought this would turn around. Now I gotta get my head set back to surgery after getting it turned around to face losing weight without the surgery. 
I wished I had the confidence in myself to believe I could do this on my own without the surgery. My head is in a better place than it has ever been before. I like my lifestyle changes, the weight is slowly coming off and yet I am so afraid that I don't have it in me to go the long distance without the surgery to reduce my food intake capacity for the rest of my life.
I realize I just have to keep working at the head stuff. Thats okay because it is actually starting to make sense and I can see my patterns that trigger my binge eating. THe overeating well that is another story.

Insurance Frustration
Dec 07, 2008
Well I got a call for from the clinic. Seems my insurance company faxed them a letter saying I don't meet their list of co-morbidities. My thoughts are... what about my co-moridities!
I am so fortunate because I don't have high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, or arthritis. This makes me a better surgical candidate. I am only boderline but I have a deadly BMI which I am working on as well as I have sleep apnea, asthma and heel spurs. I pray there is not a heart attack or stroke waiting around the corner for me. I fear that that will happen to me if I am not really careful and I am trying to get the weight off but it is a slow process. It isn't like I can just jump in and take off running. I have so much foot pain I can't do the ecliptical walker because it causes spasms in my arches, but I can do the recumbent walker so I will pick up the pace.
I just have to keep faith in myself, take it one day at a time, mindfully eat, and exercise as much as possible. This is the learning lesson for myself I guess, believing in me.
I am not going to give up!!
