A lot has happened in the last 3 months!  I've successfully made it through surgery and already progressed to the "lifetime diet."  I've gone from 258 at this time last year, to 204 as of today.  I feel better, I look better and I'm a happier, healthier person!  I'm not thin yet, but I am sure that I'll get there within the next year.  I'd had to believe how easily my body has adjusted, and how well everything has gone.  I wish I would have done this 10 years ago!

It's been 9 days since my surgery and everything has gone very well.  My check up was grear.  I'm so anxious to see how much weight I can lose. 

July 17th will be my surgery date.  I am so excited.  I can't wait to get to the loser's bench!  I've been going through my clothes today throwing out stuff I NEVER plan to wear again!  What fun! 

I saw the clinic physician and got a date for my endoscopy and surgeon visit.  I'm really happy that I'm moving forward with this process, but as with most things, things aren't moving as quickly as I want.  I had hoped to have surgery and have time to recuperate before school starts in early August.  Now, it looks like I won't get on the surgery schedule until August;  Oh well, I know I want to do this, and that it will change my life for the bettter.  I guess I'll just relax and take life as it comes!!

I received word today that my insurance is approved!!  I'm so excited.  The next part of this journey begins.  I hope to have surgery in July.  So many feelings!!

This Wednesday, 4-4-07, the doctor will send in my surgery request to my insurance.  I guess the waiting really begins now.  I hope Anthem PPO is quick to say yes!  I will be waiting on pins and needles.  I will be so disappointed if I get denied.  Oh my.....everything is always wait.....wait.....wait!

I've only told my husband and a couple of friends that I plan to have wls.  Should I be open with everyone and just spiil the beans??  I know there's nothing to be embarrassed about, but I just feel like some people will judge me and think I'm just a lazy pig.  Oh how I wish this was all over!!!

I've been thinking about what my life will be like after surgery.  How much weight will I lose?  Will I lose my hair?  Will I have lots of flabby skin?  How will I feel?  I know it will all be for the good.  I want to move along in this process!!!  It seems like it's all hurry up and wait.  I don't question my decision to go down this path.  I just wish I knew how quickly this will all come to pass.  Pray that I will have the patience to hand in here and wait.

I've lost 14 pounds since November as I keep moving along toward have surgery.  I thought I wanted to have the lap-band, but after lots of reading and thinking about it I decided that the rny gastric bypass is best for me.  It's hard to keep waiting, but by April we should be able to send in my LOMN to the insurance co.  So, that's not so far away.  If all goes smoothly, I hope to be able to have surgery by July.

I have an appontment with the surgeon's weight loss program on FRIDAY!!  Things are headed in the right direction for getting to have the surgery.
