GETTING SURGERY AUGUST 19th!!

[Bianca S. 195]

FINALLY of 4 months having two bumps in the road preventing me to get approved to finally getting the call Thursday from my surgeons office telling me to call them back to schedule surgery and my insurance approved me! They first gave me the date of July 8 but I had to get an AUGUST date due to work schedule for the next 2 months!

I been in the process since Dec. 5 (consult day)

I am so excited, after I got the call i called my mom, sister, and grandparents with the news with tears in my eyes. All day that day I was so emotional wanting to scream to cry of happiness.

I can not wait for my new journey in getting healthy.

Family have asked me if I’m excited and scared. All I’ve told them is both but that I am not trying to think of the scary things.

.... just wanted to share with all of you

And Bianca and Deedee, as you pack up your tank tops and shorts this year, might as well donate them cause you won't be This size again! Dug out my capris, shorts & sleeveless blouse OMG they tell off so badly 6 boxes are going to charity, never going to be a 4 or 5X again, now I am an 18, less than a year, actually 9 months but I never could duplicate this without my Sweet Surgery, and oh yes I did try, what I lost from the front circled around and latched on to my behind. Sir Mixalot would have found me his Dream Woman. But now I have a teeny tiny heiny and that don't make me whiny, rather celebrating,the fact,i have a profile instead of a side view of a chunk of flesh. Not only did they say "God, she's BIG" they also said "God shes THICK". Not no moren I worry that I am becoming emaciated but MAYBE this is what " normal" looks like!

I am so ready for decluttering clothes hehe. Hard part is I don’t have many so right now I’m wearing quarter sleeve shirts in summer weather because I don’t want to buy summer clothes for me not to be able to wear after 2 months from now.

Thanks for the encouraging words!! I been binge watching my 600lb life, family by the ton and experiences on YouTube with excitement.
