I'm getting closer and closer to getting a surgery date, I have one more class and my psych eval left before all the fun pre-op festivities. But I'm realizing things like this past Halloween is going to be the last I spend being the fat characters lol or this winter will be my last with my own insulation. I love winter because I'm dying in the Florida summer. Does anybody else get this?

I know about the waiting game too! I have been trying to get this surgery for three years and after changing insurance companies, I have finally been approved to have my surgery on December 15! Now looking back, its a good thing I had to wait because now I know what I am signing up for and I'm so excited! I can't wait for the shopping trips too and my husband has already started to save for that day as we speak!

I'm getting hit with reality big-time. I've been hemming and hawing and working through the prep process for more than a year, and finally got approval and scheduled surgery yesterday. Now it's only a month away and I'm sort of freaking out. I scheduled it exactly when I wanted it (first week of January - 1/6) and when I planned it, but somehow having that actual date on the calendar has brought everything into very sharp focus.

I hope that everyone who has had their surgeries is doing well!! Thinking of you guys. You're gonna look great on the losers bench I bet
