So I started my period just after surgery even though it wasn't due. The nurse told me that this surgery makes almost everyone start their period. Then when I talked to one of the nurses I work with who used to work on the floor with post op bariatric pts and she told me the same thing, her exact words were, "that surgery makes everyone start their period, even the men lol"

Awesome, and you will be able to do all of those things, I have took a few from your list and added some of my own.. lol
My Skinny List~
to do the Stair Climb for American lung association (48 floors)
Wear leggings (without trying to cover it with a long shirt)
Wear Skinny Jeans
Wear Shorts
Do Pushups
Not be the fat friend (yes hate being the only big girl in the room)
Love myself
being able to shop in "average" sizes, instead of looking for "women's world" or just look for clothing with "xxx-L" or clothing with elastic
JUST BE HEALTHY!
Thanks for sharing your list!

OMG, I LOVE YOU, this is fantastic. I don't have a "skinny list" yet, but going to make one now. My Skinny list is to wear the 100s of cute ShirtPunch and TeeFury T-shirts I have in three bins. I'm a huge sports fan and have my championship win shirts from the Denver Broncos, Chicago Cubs (I can finally die now with a World Series win) my Pittsburg Penguins shirts. I know it might sound trivial, but literally all I want do is get back into those shirts and my wedding bands.

Things I will do:
-Be confident when my fiance dips me in our house when we dance around, no more yelling 'stop! help! police!' (he's an incredible dancer, took lessons for 13 years)
-Not crying out bloody murder when he hugs me and picks me up, in fact...
I want to be able to run up to him and jump up into his arms and wrap my legs around him!!
-Do Pull-ups (like an impressive amount for a girl)
-Bust out like 50 push ups without stopping
-Do sit ups for days
-Run my dog instead of walking her
-Fit in all seats more comfortably
-Look in the mirror at the smile I always have on, instead of at my waist to check that my outfit looks okay.
-Worry that something might go wrong because I'm 'too small' instead of worrying something will break because 'I'm too fat'
-All amusement park rides, without fear that the safety handles will break and I'll go flying out.
One last weird one I can think of off the top of my head, I want to walk over ventilation grates on the sidewalk, I currently don't because I worry ones going to be positioned weird and I'll fall through.

Also, great idea for a post, kudos

BCBS does everything electronic, once submitted, less than 5 business days

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and I have yet to be approved. I have completed 2 sessions with my nutritionist, 1 session with my psychologist, have completed my endoscopy, sleep study, stress test, ultrasound, and other tests, and I've read a recommended book called, "The Emotional First-Aide Kit," which was phenomenal. My insurance does indeed cover most of the surgery.
I have one or two more calls with my nutritionist and psychologist for them to determine if I'm eligible for surgery.
I'm anxious and excited.

I ordered it off Amazon. There called yum boxes. I thought it was cute. Nice small compartments.
