I am scheduled for surgery on July 31st. I am so excited, I started this process a little over a year ago and now it is finally coming true.

I have Care First Administrators, which is a little different than just Care First. That made things a little confusing at the Dr's office. My insurance says I have to lose 5-10% of my body weight before approval. The dietitian said she had another client with the same insurance and she even gained weight and was approved. It just depends on which person at the insurance co. reviews the case and how picky they are.

I'm near Hagerstown MD. I'm hoping to have my surgery sometime this summer. My insurance denied my first submission, so a few more hoops to go through and my Dr's office will resubmit.

To be off of all of my meds and to have a 1 be the leading number for my weight!! Everyone took all of the other reasons I had. LOL!!

I can't wait to use one hand to shave both legs. I can't wait to not be the fat girl at work. I can't wait for boots that come up my calves, dresses that are not like tents and pants that are not too long (I'm 5'3). I cant wait to be able to see all the places I shave. I want to wear sundresses and strappy sandles. I want bras and panties that match. I don't want to be fearful of folding chairs, skinny chairs and other peoples furniture in general. I hate that our couch looks like it does because of me. I want to go to amusement and Water parks. I am just ready to not be fat anymore.

I can't wait to NOT keep my wedding ring and engagement ring in a box.

I can't wait to NOT have to... put off travel because I don't fit in airplane seats.
I can't wait to NOT have to... wait for other people to get out of the way on stairways and sidewalks, because I know both of us won't fit.
I can't wait to NOT have to... look around for a sturdy chair without arms.
I can't wait to NOT be the fattest person in the room where ever I go.

One that I have developed recently, as my weight has gone up:
I can't wait to not have to check the weight limits on things: zip-lining, bungee jump rides, treadmills, chairs, etc....
Also, as a Coach bag-a-holic: I can't wait to not be disappointed that the new purse I fell in love with doesn't fit on my arm in any comfortable way, shape or form because the straps are too small for my chubby arms.
