I have been so blessed. In January I had an appt with my PCP and requested this surgery. In February I began the six month program. there were comments from others about why they had to do this, but I loved every week of the classes. It was one Thursday a week to do something for me! I have five kids ( 3 are adults now and 14 yr old boy/girl twins). For the first time in 21 years of carrying this weight, I was doing something positive and rewarding and learning! And accountability and awareness to myself. I never missed a class, graduated at the end of July, and during the month of August I got every procedure that needed to be done. Insurance approved me to meet with my surgeon and his office team is wonderful! I have felt so happy since January starting this. Since i had everything done, they scheduled me in two weeks and the RN told me they have never scheduled that quickly ever and insurance again approved immediately. Things are buttoned up at work so I feel great leaving on medical leave. Today I'm doing some housework, getting out the Fall decorations, running a few errands, and happy for tomorrow. I hope everyone scheduled for surgery has a smooth transition and looking forward to learning more from each other.

You sound great. Enjoy your new freedom!
