Oh it is, it is. After going through another program (Curses be upon Them!) not once but twice, quite a. twisted story there, I joined OSU's and I SHOULD HAVE been there from the beginning back in August 2015. 2 things bad about program# 1
They wasted my time and my insurances money And Secondly,they didn't appreciate me or work with me for success.
But No Never Mind, I'm where I should have gone in the first place and THEY are WONDERFUL!

I had my consultation this morning and per my insurance, I need to do a 4 month diet along with the psych evaluation and lab work for approval. The surgeon recommended me for the RNY which wasn't my first choice but I guess it makes sense considering the amount of weight I need to lose and my lifestyle. Overall, I'm excited for the process, even with my birthday being in the middle of the 4 months.

Congrats on getting your date! I don't have a date quite yet but fingers crossed I get one. Just think, you'll be giving yourself a wonderful birthday present: the start of a new chapter.

I know! Hope you get your date soon too! They were going to schedule me for 9/14 but that was1 day after the season opener for the Bengals (we have season tickets) and there was no way I was going to be on Clear Liquids during that game! Lol! 😂 The rest of the season....sure! But give me one last game. Priorities you know ...😝

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
