  3. O my..this site is such an escape for me! It reminds me of the good things I have to look forward to. My week has been VERY trying so far! But I'm trying to keep my head up..when I think about my surgery, I remember I have so many reasons to be happy! Hope you all are doing great! =)

  4. Surgery date: December 8th!!! Not exactly when I wanted it.. was hoping for sometime before Thanksgiving.. but that is fine!! I'll take it! Hope you all are off to a fantastic week start!! =D

  5. My goodness, this weekend was such a blur!! I've been gone more than I've been home. Now it's Sunday evening and it's time to prepare for another work week. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I'm still riding on my approval high.. can't really believe it, but am SO grateful and excited for it! =)

  6. Hello lcharge1!! Thanks for the add! I've just been approved for my surgery..so I haven't been banded yet, but if there's any questions I can answer for you, please don't hesitate to ask! =)

    I can't see it...

    I'm getting a little discouraged.. I can't seem to picture myself thin. I can usually visualize how things will come together before they do and this is just a block!! I'm getting anxious because I know that it's a mental game as well as a physical one and I don't want to sabotage myself. Did anyone of you guys have that problem? Does it last long? How did you get over it? It's funny because I can look through peoples pix on here and I can see the thinner them in their before pix.. I can't do it w/me.. Is something wrong w/that?
  8. Hey ReJoyce!! Thank you for the kind words on my status! I actually got my approval letter today! I can't believe it! I hope everything goes fantastic for you w/insurance as well!! =D

  9. Hey lady! Got my approval letter! Just wanted to share that w/you! haven't spoken to you in a while! Hope all is well! =)

    I am diggin that hat!! Got one just like it! GMEN!! All the best on your journey!
  13. Hello all!! I spoke w/my Dr.'s office today and they told me I was submitted to insurance Monday!! They also told me it could take up to 3-4wks for a response.. it's all good though. They also told me I would have to do a 6mth diet as a prereq and I didn't have to do that! ;) Nevertheless, I'm so grateful to have gotten this far and be at this point! Hope you all are enjoying your week! =D

  14. Lazy weekend! I haven't left the house all day.. but that only means I've been trapped inside w/my own thoughts! Anxious and eager for the insurance submission. Can't help but think about it every few hours. But the upside is I got a lot of rest. So grateful for this site.. at least I have an outlet!! =)

  15. Ok..so I was gonna wait until I got home to post this, but I can't! Everything is DONE!! I've got all my documentation in and the Psychologist finally sent over the eval! Here we go.. the office told me that I would get a letter once I've been submitted. Nothing to do now but sit back and twittle my thumbs! *eek* =)

  16. Ok.. got things straightened out w/the psychologist...FINALLY!! She is going to submit my eval tomorrow and I will be submitted to insurance. I can't believe it..but I am actually a little nervous. I know it's only insurance, but if it goes through as fast as I'm seeing others go through, this will be the blink of an eye. O well..take it as it comes! Hope you all are in the midst of a fabulous week!

  17. Thank you for reaching out! And yes, I did have a great weekend and will certainly reach out when/if I need advice! Thanks! =D

  18. Had a great weekend! Sold some pumpkins for St. Judes and raised some $$..that was a great day and the weather was beautiful! Gearing up for another work week! Hope you all had fabulous weekends with tons of progress! =)

  19. That is very important!! I hope that I can truly say the same thing.. that I am "enjoying my journey!" =) Glad to see you're well!

    I can't see it...

    "It's so strange what our brains do to us." Amen to that!! We are truly our worst critics and enemies! I know I personally would not wish the type of criticism I give myself on anyone else. Far too many times I crush my own self.. but it's because I know better and I'm so tired of living this way. I'm ready for a change! Congratulations on your success!!! That is amazing and you deserve it! I understand what you're saying about keeping yourself in check.. but I'm hoping I can see it as the change comes or even shortly thereafter.. only because I am a very visual person. I at least have to see the pant sizes decrease. I don't feel like I'm looking at me when I look in the mirror.. and I can't wait for the day when I truly see me! Thank you for sharing! All the best as you continue on your journey!!

    I can't see it...

    So on point!! Yes..I felt like I was reading my life in your post! Some good days..some bad days. Ready for consistency..and for the good to outweigh the bad by a long shot! Everyone loves taking pix of me..but I hate being in them.. I am so critical of myself and I always find flaws..am always looking for them. And when I find them I feel like they are magnified and everyone is paying attention to them. So trust me..I know exactly how you feel!! I am ready to be submitted to insurance..just waiting for my psych eval to be sent over. Once that's done, I'm praying for a speedy approval! All the best on your approval and surgery! Please keep me posted! I can't wait to share in the celebration of your success!!
