I'm so excited and nervous! Walking into my appointment today, I almost turned around! I was so nervous of the "what if's".... What if I'm too big for surgery... what if he thinks I'm not a good fit for the surgery I want... what if he looks at me and tells me I'm not trying hard enough with other options (my mom's suggestion: "Why don't you exhaust all of your other options first honey!") What if he likes everything and first surgery date avalible is in December... what if!!! Thankfully my husband was by my side and I'm too chicken to tell him "lets turn around and hide!"

What if nothing! ***Happy "I'm getting surgery" dance!!!!****

(never thought I would be happy about going into surgery willingly! needles *cringe*)

He approved me for surgery, he said two weeks of shakes/ less than 1,000 calories a day and surgery on June 13th!!!

Bonus: Work is good with the days off, kids are going to hang with my mom and my honey is going to be by my side (he is my rock!)

On a side note: The girls in my office are always having some sort of weight loss something going on... I think the current thing is $5 to weigh in each week for 6 weeks and at the end the "biggest loser" gets the "pot". They have always invited me to join in, but at twice their weight I've never been interested in everyone knowing my actual weight. Today they told me they didn't want me to join... that they all knew they would lose!! (this actually makes me happy!)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Congrats! You are two days before me.

date envy over here! I have sub'd my paperwork to the doc still waiting and hoping for approval

Congrats! I get my surgery date next week- well I should- and I am so hoping it will b in 2 weeks or less!

I work for such a small company and enough of us are overweight that we have a "rider" on insurance policy NO bariatric anything!!!! I was looking into financing, but my father just sold his parents house and currently has the cash to front! So I will be forever in his debt (literally) but at least I will no longer be fat and happy, just HAPPY!

Yaaaayyyy!!!! (Dancing with ya!!!)
