So yesterday I met with the surgeon - I have my Psych Eval on Thursday - Nutrionist appointment on Monday - labs, EKG and chest x-ray next Wednesday - submit to insurance next Friday. Wow!

If insurance approves quickly enough I could possibly be on the surgery table by mid-September. Craziness!

Anybody else have it go so very fast like this once your PCP monthly meetings were met? I am scared but excited to start a new life.

Mid-September - That will be here before you know it !

I didn't have PCP monthly meetings, but once the ball got rolling on getting stuff done, it didn't stop, it was a crazy rush of medical appointments and emotions. Before you know it you will be on the other side watching the pounds drop off =)

Hang in there - and if you're the type that likes to journal and then eventually look back, keep a log of how you're feeling. I'm only 3 weeks out and it's already interesting to look back and see how things have changed already. I can't imagine what it will be like to read back through what I've written once I'm a year out and see how truly far I've come. Plus, I'm hoping reading through all my excitement will jump start my enthusiasm if I get down during stall weeks.

Oh yes, my first appt was late October and they wanted to do surgery late November and then early December. I had to wait till beginning of Feb to get the time off I needed. Best of luck for a speedy approval!
