Loved reading your reflection of the changes you've gone through this year and goals for 2010. Thanks for sharing!! You were smart to have surgery...look at all the benefits that you are already enjoying. AWESOME.

Congratulations on a very successful 5 months!! I can't believe that in 5 short months you are almost to your goal weight. That is unbelievable and WONDERFUL!! I'm very happy for you. How fun to wear heals and shop! I can't imagine wearing heals right now....maybe someday in my future:-)!!! :-)Kelly

Congratulations!!! It is so great hearing about other people's success!!! You are doing so well--2010 is going to be a wonderful year for you!! YAHOO!! :-)Kelly

I've been waiting. :svengo: Waiting for the final insurance authorization so I can schedule surgery. Waiting is difficult. I want to get this show on the road. I want to schedule my surgery. I contacted my surgeon's office today to see if they have any news. They did not. I contacted the insurance company to see where they were with the process. They said that they hadn't received the doctor's authorization. What?!! :thumbup: So...I called back the doctor's office to let them know what the insurance co. said. I haven't heard back from my doctor's office yet. I'm hoping that they will clear this up and that contacting them today will move things along. Is this wishful thinking?! probably. Once I made the decision and finished all the required steps for surgery, I want it --yesterday! I'm am hoping and praying for a Feb. 10 or 11 surgery date. We have a school break the next week which would work great for recovery time. I told my principal about my future surgery today. He asked good questions and was very positive. I hope the timing works out but if it doesn't, that's OK too. I'll make any time work. I'm ready. I ordered a few samples of Unjury and plan to try them this week. It has been so helpful to read other's blogs and forum entries to learn more about pre and post diet and care. I love reading about everyone success!! I know that surgery will change my life. I need and want to change desperately. Until then...I'll try to wait more patiently!:seeya:

Hi Stacie! I'm so happy for you! It sounds like everything is coming together...especially once you meet wtih the dietician to help with protein. 23 pounds down!! WOW!! I can't wait for my sleeve!!! :-) Kelly
