  1. I am just at the VERY beginning of all of this and still not certain - maybe because I am overwhelmed with it all. The first thing I check on was insurance and it's covered with the 'normal' requirements. So now I am searching the internet to get more information and going back to my PC doctor tomorrow to get the ball rolling. Please tell me this is a nerve racking ordeal and I am not making a mountain out of a mole hill? A big question is post-surgery when they say you can only have small amounts of water at a time - what is a 'small amount of water' and how often can I drink? I sweat like a pig (even did when I was in shape and played sports in college) and I also talk most of the day on my job and easily drink 2 liters of water a day. I can't imagine not being able to drink once I go back to work. Maybe it's getting the cart before the horse, but one of the reasons I am motivated to lose weight is because I love my job and want to be able to do it for as long as possible. Don't want to lose my job because I am LOSING weight....kind of defeats the purpose!
