1) I want to live to see my three-year old son turn 18 at least. I know that if I don't do this, my chances of dying soon are very high. 2) To eliminate my sleep apnea. 3) To keep up with my son, who at three is very energetic. I have a secret fear of taking him out walking because I am afraid he will wriggle out of my grasp and get hit by a car because I'm not fast enough to catch him. 4) To reduce my back pain from herniated discs and messed up nerves from an accident two years ago. 5) To push back my heart problems a good twenty years. 6) To be able to purchase regular clothing at cheaper prices. 7) To wear things from Victoria's Secret, Old Navy, Gap, Target, Kmart, Walmart, Macy's, a Costume Store at regular Misses sizes. 8) To amass a collection of super sexy underthings. 9) To stop being afraid of going out in public and worrying about where my butt will fit. 10) To gain the confidence I need to make up my mind about my long-term life goals/bucket list items and strive to achieve them.

My approval should be in by November 8, 2010, and I was informed that I would probably be a December surgery. Excited.
