Thank you! Happy to have found a group, been feeling a bit alone in my process. More recently I started a 12 week series of classes (optional) in my area to branch out. I'm hoping to attend the local support groups next month.

I think without some to talk to, the whole process feels a bit surreal. I think I am still in denial a little that I am even doing this. Crazy!

Some problems along the journey- first surgery date jan 4, then August 24, but doctor cant do it that week, now onto sept 2, drs scheduled my sleep study to be done in the office, my insurance denied it, waiting for this home one to get set up with my insurance, that's over a month ago. Now when I call to talk to someone, I get their voicemail, just great n they never call me back... Hmm just another bump in the road......

OMG! I tried posting from my phone twice and the app crashed. Then I tried from my laptop, and the stupid thing gave me the blue screen of death!! Stupid technology!

Aside from technology issues, I'm feeling pretty fortunate! This whole process has been so smooth for me,I feel like the universe is telling me that I really am ready and doing the right thing with my decision to get sleeved. My insurance confirmed that they had everything they need now, so I should have my final official approval sometime in the next week or so. Then I have my pre-op appt with Dr. Kaufman for all of my last minute questions, and an appointment with the nutritionist to get all of the details of the pre-op and immediately post-op diets, both scheduled for August 20th. Then I'm going out to the Washington coast for a few days with some friends, and back home to start my 2 week pre-op diet... and then surgery!! I know they require the 2 weeks of low carb, but I guess I'll find out if there will be any liquid diet at my appt next month. The low carb part will be easy since that's pretty much how I already eat. The biggest difference is that I'll definitely be tracking all of my food (though I may start doing that sooner, just to get back in the habit). I've been trying to pay more attention to how I'm eating and working on taking smaller bites and chewing a lot more... not as easy as it sounds! I'm still struggling with getting exercise in, but I'm determined to at least get up to 30 minutes at least 4 days a week before surgery.

I'm just so excited to be on the other side and starting my new life!!!
