Thank you everyone for all of your support and kind comments. I am almost two weeks post surgery and I'm feeling really good. Hopefully I'll feel better after I can start eating solid foods again on Monday! I was really sore when I came home from the hospital the third day after surgery, but I'm doing a lot better now. I finished my pain medication and started driving again. I missed the freedom! I go back to work on Tuesday, which I am excited about, but I imagine the day will probably wear me out.

I met my surgeon today. I love him. I have surgery on Monday at 9:00 am. I'm excited! I'll be happy when it is over. I'm looking forward to springtime!

I'm approved! I haven't received the letter yet, but I found out Friday that I have been approved. I'll update when I know my surgery date!

My paperwork was submitted to my insurance company. I found today that I need to provide letters of referral from my surgeon and my doctor. Dr. Glascock's office said they would fax it in, but I have to go pick up the one from my doctor's office tomorrow. Hopefully i will find out soon!

My appointment for November 28th had to be rescheduled for December 6th. I hope this does not delay my approval another month. I was hoping to apply for pre-approval in January. I posted my first photo online tonight. I never have photos taken of myself. I made an exception for this one. I can't wait for the day I can post a skinny picture!

I have my fourth month doctor appointment on Tuesday. I really haven't lost much weight since I started this process, but I have been exercising. I know I am gaining muscle and becoming healthier, even if am not losing weight. My first weight-related goal is to be under 300 pounds. I was 317 at my last appointment. My food-related goals are to maintain sensible portions, drink more water and take daily multivitamins. My biggest challenge has always been food portions. I have stopped going back for second servings. In October, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was hoping to avoid this, but at least this should help me with the pre-approval process for weight loss surgery.
