Process Update

I mentioned in my last blog post that I was visiting my Nut earlier this week.  I'm happy to report I'm down 5 lbs.  I've officially met my required (6 month) weight loss goal.  Now I have to stay under this weight for another month to be submitted for approval.

After I'm submitted for approval, I can then start the long process of waiting for a date.  My surgeon is wayyy backed up, so I am not expecting to have surgery until probably this summer.  The good news with that is I will have worked up even more leave so I can stay out longer during recovery.  I'm shooting for 3 weeks at least with 4 weeks being the most.

That's how I'm managing to keep the frustration (of this long process) down.  I'm just glad I have made this much progress.  Now here's to a loss during December...holidays and all.
