I'm getting so excited. Even though the process seems so long, now it's getting closer and I can believe it's really going to happen. My last appointment with my PCP will be on November 5th, and everything will be ready to submit to the insurance company then. I'm getting so nervous and excited all at the same time!

My husband said to me the other day "I'm so happy for you! It's going to be nice to see you not feeling so depressed and going through all the torture anymore". He has watched me through all the yo-yo dieting and depression over the last 20+ years. I'm so grateful for all his support.

I just don't want to live like this anymore. I can't wait to start living instead of just existing! I can't wait to want to be around people again and do things with my kids without worrying about how bad my knees and back will hurt. I can't wait for so many things!!!

I just had to get all that out, Lol. This site is so awesome knowing there is other people out there who know exactly what I'm feeling and going through.

So happy for you!! I feel the same way as you about being fat. It's so hard to be in this skin!
