10 Days & Counting!

I started this journey almost 7 months ago to the day! I have been to all my regular appointments & the psyche evaluation. I also have done multiple nutritionist appointments. On September 7th my paperwork was submitted to Cigna, that was the longest wait, felt like 3 years instead of 3 weeks. But on September 28th I received the news that I have been waiting to hear for a very long time. You are a candidate & you have been approved.

 

My surgery is scheduled for October 18th @ 10am. I am beyond ecstatic & releved to finally know that I can get a handle on my weight loss. I have lost weight many times in the past. At one time I lost close to 90 pounds, but doing it with diet drugs is not the answer, and as soon as you go off it is as if someone has put an air hose in your ear. The weight comes back on in droves. Iam just happy to have a tool that will help me to lose the weight & keep it off!

 

I look forward to the new & improved version of my self. I want to be healthy & happy and cannot wait to embark on this new phase in my life.
