Just heard that my insurane approval went through.. Contacted the Surgery Scheduling immediately ~ got my surgery date on Monday November 5, 2012. It also happens to be my oldest daughters 26th birthday.. Kind of ironic.. Since that was when I went from a size 10 up to hugh & pregnant! Although getting to a size 10 wasn't from being healthy, it was binging & purging..

So, another lifetime ago, that will be in my past & time to close some doors & open new ones! Guess I'd better start on my liquid diet tomorrow, after I eliminate the wine from my kitchen.,.,! LOL (ooh.. And the bag of m&m's in my glovebox!)

Lots of backtracking now to remember everything the dietian told me so many months ago! How to do the pre-op diet.. What's acceptable, what's not.. Researching tonight!!

Starting new tomorrow! I can already feel the increase in energy and happy mood change!

Wish me the best! Cause in 2-3 days I may regret the whole thing once I start on the liquid! (I think we like to complain! Why not be happy for sustenance and covering?)

I may regret that also in a few days, since I can talk big, right after lunch!! LOL!

SO MUCH TO LIVE AND LEARN!!

Thanks for reading!

Thanks soo much! I couldn't be happier!,

Well, yes I could be happier, because the Surgery Scheduling called me back & said there was a cancellation for October 29, and did I want it!! I think I shouted out "yes" before she finished her sentence!

Yep! Happy Dance time! I feel thinner & more energetic already!

Thanks for the post!

I feel a sense of calm today after getting the approval call yesterday. I am sure i will go through a million different feelings by the time day of surgery comes. But right now I feel calm and hopeful.

Wishing you the very best, I mean that with all my heart.
