It seems like the clock is moving at a snails pace. I am 2 days away from my surgery now 48 hours and 26 mins to be exact. Any last minute advice?

Today I am down 32 lbs from my highest weight ever, I have lost 14 lbs since I started trying to lose this time. I am at the exact same weight as I was 3 years ago when I was going to have the surgery and backed out.

My surgery is in 5 days and I am so emotional I keep crying over the smallest things..... I/m happy that I'm doing this and I am aware it isn't just a quick fix it's going to take work, I know it's the right choice. Suck it up Melissa

I am having my surgery a week from today! I cried after I talked to the girl that scheduled me all the different emotions hit me at once. I'm good to go again now though : )

I got authorization today my surgery is approved! I am still waiting on a date but I should know it in the next few days. I have been getting everything ready. I bought the protein power and vitamins, food scale, a blender that's is like the Bullet, small containers and baby spoons. Anything else that is a must have please let me know. I am excited/nervous but so ready.

So I let my husband talk me out of the surgery once again. This time I had a date set and was ready to go when he decided to tell me that if I had the surgery he wouldn't be with me anymore. Of course my first thought was screw you then don't be with me. However financially speaking I wasn't ready to make that break. Well finanancially I still am not but we did make the break that is. I am in the process of restarting everything grrr. I have gone to the seminar again, and had my first consultation with a new Dr. back in the home town. So it looks like I am starting my life completely over now not just with the surgery. I will be happier in the long run and free to be my own person so here goes nothing.

I got a bunch of test done and the coordinator called and said that she got the report saying I do not have a hiatal hernia so she is submitting for insurance apporval and we should have that back but thursday and then we can set my surgery date!!!!
I would also like to say having a upper GI sucks!

I have my eval today and  when I left he told me I was going to be good to go! Yay! I'm so proud of myself for not crying, I'm a total cry baby and I cry over everything. I knew I did not want to go in there crying and I did it. LOL On the way out I was so proud of myself I almost cried how silly is that?  Wohoo now I just need to wait for insurance approval!

My process is moving along, not fast enough but moving. I have an appointment on the 22nd to see the psychologist after that we will submit for surgery approval. My surgeon asked me to lose 30 lbs prior to surgery and I am down about 19 so far... yay me.

Well I never had my surgery I backed out. I wanted to have it but go talked out of it. I could kick myself for letting it happen.

Anyway I am starting the process over and I had a consultation with a new surgeon today. I really really liked him and I feel really got about it.

I have to pretty much re-do everthing but its my own fault. I have to go to a new seminar on Oct. 5. I was told it would be a pretty fast process but I do not know what that means yet lol. I am hoping within the next few months though.

I am making appointments now for my nutrionist consult and the psych Eval. So excited, oh and I also need to get my blood work and Dr.s clearance.
