Surgery Tommorrow!!!
May 13, 2007
I am soo Excited. My surgery will be in the morning. I think right now I am more nervous about how well I did on the optifast than the surgery itself. I didn't do well on the optifast so far. I only lost 3 lbs and I hope this week I did better but I doubt it. Anyway, no turning back now!! I'm just ready to get it over with. You all have been so great!! I'll update you on the loser side!!! Keep me in your prayers!!
The optifast
Apr 27, 2007
OK so I've been on the optifast for 3 days now and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm actually not starving. although knowing that I can still physically can eat other things I'm afraid may be detrimental to my success. I have slipped a little each day. I just get cravings. Which is clearly why I need this surgery, b/c if I can eat it I'm afraid I just will. I have such will power issues. I NEED HELP!! I hope I can whip into shape and lose at least a few pounds before my surgery. I've been told that if you don't lose SOME weight they may not do your surgery. I would be crushed. I came here to write about this to inspire strength and willpower for myself. I hope it works!!
I have a date!!
Apr 23, 2007
I recieved a letter in the mail late friday that appeared to say I had insurance approval. This weekend has been hell awaiting Monday morning so I could call Dr Bour's office to see if they'd received the same info. So around 1 o'clock I got a phone call from carmen at the dr's office saying she had the info and if I'd come in tuesday morning to pay the rest of my program fee she could go ahead and give me my date. So I start my optifast on Wednesday and appearantly I will only be on it for 3 weeks b/c my surgery date is 5/15/07!!!!! They told me with my insurance it would go pretty smoothly and even in my impatience I didn't think it would be this quick. Praise God!! He is soo good, I don't even deserve it. But now I'm getting nervous. PLease pray for God to lead me through this as he sees fit and to give me strenth. I am soo blessed.
Patience is a virtue (that I don't have)

Well, now i've been cleared by the doc and the psych. It's time to play the waiting game, which I suck at. so now I'm just waiting on my insurance approval which I'm told with my insurance company is not so bad. But I HATE waiting!!! I am the MOST IMPATIENT person I've ever known, so for me this is probably the most difficult part. Anyway, hopefully i'll be able to post in 2 or 3 weeks with a date!!! Pray for me that God will give me patience.
The first BIG DAY
Apr 03, 2007
Tommorrow's the day! I have an appointment with the psychologist and with the surgeon. So I'm a little nervous and very excited. Hopefully the psych. is going to clear me for surgery and they will send off my insurance for approval, and then its just a matter of time (I hope). I'll fill you all in after my appt. Wish me luck!!
The beginning
Mar 16, 2007
I've never posted on a blog before, not relly sure where to start. so I'll just let this be an update of my journey. I've met w/everyone but the doctor, and I've been put on the Lexapro. also found out that appearantly I'm very OCD, which actually explains ALOT. So I'll see the phsycologist again in 3 weeks to hopefully be CLEARED for surgery. I'm starting to get anxious, and nervous. Will I do well, will I be able to stick to the diet? i hope so. It seems so foolproof.
