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.
