9/13/06 Today is the day they send it all over to BC/BS and try to get me approved.
I have so much anxiety its unreal and anyone that will include me in their prayers PLEASE DO!
: )
9/25/06 Found out BC/BS is going paperless so in a nutshell it means that they didnt recieve my entire fax.
Its being sent again today and they told Dr. O's office they will expedite a decision.

IM APPROVED! GOD IS SO GOOD!
I got the call from Patrice today saying I have been approved. Now I have to coordinate it w/ my work schedule.
I am so excited I cant wait to do so many things with my kids that I cant do right now.
Other than the fax receipt incident on the 13th I really have no complaints about the experience.

OK so officially 10 more days until surgery-
I went and bought some chinese food for dinner tonight and figured I would watch a DVD by myself when the kids go to bed,
Yanno my tummy is jumpy and I dont want to eat because of what lays ahead.
Its not that I am scared its more like anxious b/c I have waited a LONG time for this moment to come. (originally tried for approval in 2002 and was denied)
I have fleeting moments when I think "hmm this is going to REALLY suck driving there and being there alone until I am released and my sister can pick me up : (
I saw something on here about an angel but I dont have one so in the event someone reads this and wants me that would truly be a blessing.
Well I am going to do a few more things around the house and see what else needs to be in place while I am away from my 3 angels.

Well its been just about a week since I posted anything......So far I have had all my friends and family excited about my decision and date of surgery. The only unpositive comments I have received have been from coworkers. NOT ALL- - - just 2 of them primarily.
One of them was really working overtime yesterday to make me change my mind (LOL- - what a waste of time b/c that is not even an option for me I am blessed to have this opportunity)
As we left Friday at the end of the day she said " You scared yet?" and I replied with one of the biggest smiles ever " NOPE NOT A BIT" she asked " Any second thoughts about your decision?" so I replied " NOPE NOT A ONE!" and I smiled and said have a good weekend and off I went.
Next week I am only working one day, Monday, then Tuesday to Ocala to stay at a hotel and up early on Wednesday to start the "First day of the rest of my life"
Its interesting the women telling me to think twice- - - not to do it ect ect but the health nuts and excercise fanatics are VERY excited about me doing this and have given me an open invitation to go with them to the gym if I want during lunch when they go whenever I feel able to.
Well I have ALOT to do this weekend to get ready for this .. . . my kids will be staying with my parents while I am in Ocala and then I will stay with them at least a week when I am released.

Well tomorrow I am off to Ocala WOOHOO!
I am going to be meeting up with some of the really great people I have met online with this site and then a very special member is coming to visit me while in the hospital so I am very happy about that.
I will post my experience when I get back.

Like Tony the Tiger would say " I feel GREEEEEEAT!"
I had a wonderful experience with my WLS and the hospital stay.
I met some wonderful people the night before that were having their surgeries the same day as me. We all met up the morning of surgery wished each other luck and then off I went.
When I woke up after surgery and was able to walk the halls I checked in on my new found friends and we encouraged one another and checked on one another during our entire stay.
I had a woman named Ruth from the OH site come to visit me the day after surgery and she is just this amazingly wonderful and adorable ball of energy and encouragement. I am so blessed to have had God place these people in my life.
I am definitly going to keep in contact with these wonderfull people.
I have been feeling great, sticking to my surgeons guidelines and walking. I am down 12 pounds in right under a week and feel happiness in my heart on my new journey.
I thank all of the new friends I have met and the new ones that I have become friendly with through this site. I will defintly be keeping in touch : )
God is soooo GOOD to Me!
and I am still staying "To Blessed to be Stressed"
