I started my weight loss journey at 360 and so far I've lost 50 pounds pre op. I was denied by insurance and I appealed it, and on Wednesday I found out that my appeal worked and was approved for the surgery. I go in for the pre op September 10th and could be having surgery that week or the next week. Nervous, and scared, but I know I can do this, and be able to live longer and be more health and not have to have so many issues with my chronic back pain and other medical issues

I swam 2 laps in the pool three days this week in Montana, on vacation at Glacier Falls National Park. Walked a bit too. We were 3 crippled old ladies on vacation. Had a great time, sightseeing, on a boat tour, and a helicopter ride (i think i just squeaked on board) and ski lifts. I rang a japanese gong for luck and held a barn owl in Birds of Prey rehab center near Lethbridge, canada. My IPhone became totally useless in canada, i messed it up. What a great week!

Today I walked to the store and backs. I just got the approval to exercise again after months of not being able to exercise, because of injuries. So I thought I would start slow and work me back to an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes. I'm preop, and never liked to exercise and its a new coping skill that I've added on to my list

I love the elliptical, I also do it for 60 minutes, and people who I know that exercise and are in shape don't see how could do an hour and that they can't even do it for an hour. I've finally got the all clear to go back to exercising which has been for almost 4 months or so I would get hurt, and the first injury it wouldn't heal and they thought I needed surgery, finally got that healed then my bulging disc acted up went back to pt, then I severely sprained ankle, and just today I had my last pt appointment knock on wood (knock knock)

I agree, doctor thinks August, but I was hospitalized for med changes so a little bit nervous, but staying positive, and I think I've got that situation demolished when I talked to my life style counselling person today. So hoping August is the date, but if I have to wait tell December what a great birthday and Christmas gift I would be giving myself.

I'm 23 and got everything done just waiting for everything to get sent to the surgeons office so they can send it into insurance

If you are the one that does the grocery shopping don't buy it, and if they want junk food have them go to a gas station and get it, but make a rule that you don't want it in the house so if they want it they have to eat it outside or before they come home
