1-30-2007 Today I recieved a phone call from Dr. Ver Steeg's office that they had recived a letter from my insurance company and I was MEDICALLY APPROVED!!! I couldn't believe it! So we got the ball rolling on all the test I needed to get done before my surgery.
1-31-2007 Today I recieved a phone call from Wellmark BlueCross Blueshield telling me that I have been approved for the surgery and if I had any questions that I am to call them. I also recieved my letter of approval in the mail so it really makes it real! It also says that I am schedualed for February 22 @ 8:00 am. I am very excited yet very scared.
2-6-2007 Went to Dr. Ver Steeg's today had my picture takin' talked about what all will be happening to me. Went over sooooo much!
2-8-2007 today was a very buisy day! I had my gallbaldder ultra sound, a chest x-ray, blood work, met with anesthesia personal, and a dietician. I thought my day wouldn't ever end.
2-18-2007 Today I finished up the shopping that needed to be done before I go in. I find myself very cranky-I am not so sure if it is because I am getting scared or if I am very overwhelmed by how fast this is happening. But I can't wait to have a much better /healthier lifestyle.
2-24-07 Well I am home now and there is hardly any pain. Everything went well, very glad to be home in my own bed. I am drinking my shakes even though they are soooo sweet tasting.
3-29-07 I am doing very well, I am down 33 pounds and feeling great. I am back to doing home daycare, That is my daily work-out there.(hee hee) No I am just kidding. I am walking and doing Curves.
4-6-07 I went to see Dr. Ver Steeg today, I have lost 39 pounds to their scale but 41 to mine, I will go by mine. I have been feeling very well. I have way more energy than before. I do have trouble with all meats, so I guess I will just become a vegitarian. I do eat alot of veggies and fresh fruits. Oh and also my protien shakes.
7/12/07 Well today I had a check up with Dr. Ver Steeg, All is going very well. I have lost 81 lbs. and feeling great.
