Well I am finally under 200lbs.....yay   and I never want to see it again ever. I didn't think I would ever get there. I was stuck for nearly 3 weeks between 201-203 now yesterday I weighed and I am at 198.

Here I am a week away from my big day and I am just a nervous wreck. I don't know why I am feeling this way. I am having nightmares that I am losing my different loved ones, my husband tells me I am talking in my sleep, I think about it constantly and my heart starts pounding I start shaking. What on earth is happening to me, I do want to have this done so why do I seem to be losing control all of a sudden. It must be the cold feet syndrome like before getting married. Any comments are welcome.

Yep here I am again, back at it. I have now finished the Lifeskills class that they wanted me to do, had my final visit with dr Groh and he gave me the go ahead. Si now my new surgery date has been set for Dec 1, I had hoped it would have been sooner but hey at least I have one, I guess most of my excitement is gone because of what happened before. I will be more excited when its all over with and I head for the losers bench. looking forward to seeing you all there.

Yep it was not pleasant to hear that I had to have my surgery cancelled until after I completed a Life Skills class.. Apparently the psyche that did my eval feels I would benefit from this class. So it will start Aug 14 and last for 8-weeks.I should be finished by the end of Oct and then I can go forward. I was really upset the first couple of days but after speaking with the psche and the coordinator at the Bariatric Center, I have decided I am ok with it just had to have a couple of days to sulk.  Anyways I am still on the pre op diet and have lost 12lb in 3 weeks so far.

I got my call today, I have a surgery date for Aug 18, I am just so happy, I go in next Thursday for a test called Hyplori, to check for bacteria in the stomach that would be caused from an ulcer. Then in 2 weeks I will have my all day testing..........I am sooooo happy

Well I went to the see Dr Groh today for my results of my eval, he recommends that I attend an 8 week class in the Bariatric Life skills group. The only thing is that the instructor is on vacation for 3 more weeks. I know I should be more patient but knowing I am approved just makes it harder to wait. Well tomorrow is when I go see the dietician. Has anyone else attended this 8 week class?

I can't believe it, my insurance company has approved me for surgery. I got my letter yesterday not really understanding it. I called the insurance company and two different people told me I was approved. I contacted the Bariactric Center and told them, I then faxed a copy of the letter to them and they checked it out and called me back and said yep you are approved. I am still in shock I think. I just had my psyche evail last week, and still waiting for the results I get on July 2. Then the 3rd I have my first appointment with the dietrician. Things are just spinning..........I am lovin it!!!!!

I am looking forward to going to the seminar tomorrow. I have been to one about 3 yrs ago with my daughter but now it for me and I can't wait. Hubby is going with me for support.
