Hi I'm scheduled for July 10th with Dr. Davidson in Dallas! I have a countdown on my phone that I look at about 5 times a day! July can't come fast enough! I've been approved since March but am waiting for the summer because I'm a teacher and get the summer off. I've been preparing by cooking a lot more than I used too, and making healthy meals from a weightloss surgery cookbook. I have also started working with a personal trainer at my gym and have been trying to increase my cardio. I'd like to lose 20 lbs before surgery

I'm excited for you. I have a ticker on my phone that I look at 5 times a day too. Thats funny, I was try to find a way to put it on the desktop of my computer at work but I better not.

My insurance said that bariatric surgery was covered so I went through all the hoops 3 month diet, psych, sleep apnea test, stress test ect.... Only for the insurance to tell me that it was an exclusion on our policy. I apealed it but it didn't work. So... I'm going to Mexico to have mine done. I can't pay what they ask for in the states. I know a few people who have been there and they say they would do it again toworrow.

I have been eating alot healthier and have started walking in the neighborhood and have lost 20 pounds. I never have trouble losing.... it's just keeping it off.

Good luck to you and stay in touch.

We fly out tomorrow at 6! So many emotions but one us hunger. Day 3 of yogurt and Water and I could hurt someone over a hamburger. Heck even a pc of fruit right about now!!

LOL I cracked up laughing outloud. One of my coworkers and I went on the HCG diet last year and we were soooo hungry. We used the phrase "cut a b***h". Hahahahaha

Good Luck and Prayers your way!!!

Yay Donna! I hear you. I keep counting the days, which I know is ridiculous! Where are you coming from Donna? I am in the DC area.
