I'm getting hopeful again...

Dec 09, 2009

I've successfully remained smoke-free for 8 wks...YAYYY!!! I finally received the final clearance to proceed with my WLS process! OMG, I had no idea it would seem so grueling just to be skinny! I cant add the word "again" to the last sentence-I don't know what skinny feels like but I'm sure I'll love it (lol). Nothing worth having comes easy...I guess, still I feel the end result will be worth it. My last step (as so I'm told)  is to have an endoscopy which I have next Friday on the 18th. I spoke to my surgeon's office last Monday and everything is in check with my file.  I can't wait to start posting my progress pics, as of right now the camera and I just really aren't feeling one another. This will be the best start to my new year I could ever have. I see now that a date for me should clear next month since my dr. says BCBS is usually quick on their approvals-usually in 36 hrs they call back I'm told. I'm so glad my company didn't drop them from our plan as they originally started, I would have hated to start over again under Aetna or Cigna. I'm 6 mnths into this process and I'm so ready to get a date and a mini-vacation in the process. My family finally seems to be on board with my choice and that feels good as well. I'm starting to get more support from them as well.  I still receive a few snide remarks here and there, and as always I ignore them...my brother said he'll pray I dont end up looking like a bobble-head (jack-ass), hell I hope I dont either. I think I'll close this one, thanks OH for all of your support and nice words you're really the ones that made this easy for me. My next post I promise will have a date so pray this goes through for my. My dues have been paid in full-it's my time to shine.
