So excited I just have to share! I haven't told anyone but my hubby and my parents about surgery so I cant share the excitement! BUT- August 13, surgery day has been dauntingly close... for the last 3 weeks since I first did my pre op bloodwork I had been struggling with a mystery high white blood cell count... SO i've been thinking (and had been told by my PCP's office that they were going to have to cancel surgery). Finally last friday I got a call that bcbs accepted my claim!!! but- thats kind of devastating thinking I wouldn't get to have surgery anyway. I had been tested for everything under the sun- no infection was showing then they started testing for scary stuff-- THEN today i had to go to a hematologist oncologist today --- thinking the worst ... but--- HE CLEARED ME FOR SURGERYYYY! after what felt like the longest most arduous journey, i am SO thrilled I'm cleared to have surgery on the 13th.

I know this post is kind of scattered- sorry to anyone who is reading but I have a million thoughts racing through my mind and just wanted to share!!!

Right before my surgery I was thinking about 101 things at once. I'm glad that everything worked out and you were given the go ahead. Sometimes the littlest things can cause our white blood count to rise. A bruise a cut or a scrape or even a little cold. Don't worry. The Dr. cleared you and soon we will see you on the banded side!

Take care of yourself and wish you the best with the surgery.

Thanks all! Can't wait to be banded! On the liquid diet, just thinking about how great skinny will feel while at the table with the hubby watching him eat dinner! So exited to have this sure since I'm so far too shy/embarrassed about my weight to talk to any of my friends about my wls!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
