Okay so I am about 8 months out now, I need to post some new pics of me...wow what a difference. I am down to 170-172 depending on the day. I have a referall in for a tummy tuck I just need to lost about 10 more pounds, maybe 15. I am in a size 14 now. I was a size 24 in the beginning wow what a difference. I have lost 43 inches total wow...almost 4 freakin feet.  The difference is amazing!!!!!!!! I feel like a whole new person well I guess I should say a whole new half of a person...lmao!!! These pictures are pretty recent although I have lost about 8 pounds since then. In fact those pants dont even fit anymore.

Well I just went to the seminar last night. I filled out the paperwork this morning and plan on turning it in sometime today. I have already been approved for the initial consultation. So I hope I can get that appointment soon.

I just got off of the phone with Elizabeth at Southwest Bariatrics and I have my initial appointment scheduled. Feb. 8th. I hope I can find the place okay. I have only been to Austin one time. I am so excited, this is moving faster than I thought.

I went to the surgeon this week and she said I am a perfect candidate for the surgery. The billing lady said I should know within a week when I can do my pre-op. Once the doc says its okay Tricare usually approves it right away. I am hoping to have the surgery by March 15th.

I just checked online and I got approved WOOHOOO!!!!! My insurance is quick. I just called Southwest Bariatric to set up my pre-op so I will post later if I here anything new about dates and stuff.

Well I did my pre-op last week. I have my final appt. with my surgeon on the 29th. I should have my surgery the middle of April.

Well I have completed my final appt. with my surgeon and have my surgery scheduled. My surgery is scheduled for either the 18th or 19th I cant remember is that bad. I was saying the 19th but my husband says I told him the 18th. So I am calling tomorrow to find out. Well anyways I am on my pre-op diet YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean they torture us fat people before they take away food forever. Dang!!!!! Oh well it will be all worth it. WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay we are getting close only one week away. I am a little nervous but nothing like i expected. I hope everything goes well. I had a scare the other day I got a letter from Tricare saying they didnt cover my pre-op stuff. WOOOWW!!! I called and everything got straightened out. I lost a few pounds on the pre-op diet.

Well well well, havent been on here in awhile. I am definitely doing better..I am down 50 lbs. and about 25 inches. My surgery was on the 18th of April so I am about 9 weeks out. I am getting discouraged though cause it seems as though the weight is coming off slowly. Well I am going to try to put some better pics on here so you can see my progress.

*August 25th, 2006
