Mischievous - I am having BR on June 3rd. All I did was go to one of the plastic surgeons on my insurance plans. I went 2/25 to get assessed. They took pictures and told me they'd call if I got approval. They did everything with the insurance. They called in early April and said I got approval. When I first made the appointment they said to bring in any documentation I had of back or neck pain but that I didn't really need it. Less than 30 days away, I'm terrified!!!!

Good for you for taking that initial step...that's the HARDEST part. I want to get a TT or LBL as well so thought I'd wait until I lost another 20 lbs and then go for my initial consulation on all procedures, in the meantime I've been looking into surgeons in my area (Portland, OR) and putting $$ aside for my new body. (I feel so guilty because I have ALWAYS worked, I also just finished my BSBA in 2003 and am still paying that off, and now i'm a stay home mom and have NO income and I want all this expensive/risky surgery -even though it will benefit my DH, it is really for ME and I feel it is selfish and a bit guilty because of that. My DH supports it though as he spoils me rotten and my every wish is his command....yeah you wonder why I married him ??)

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
