Friday I rec'd my approval letter from my insurance company!! I was so excited I cried, then I called my sister and she cried also (after calling me a sap)

So....Now what?? When will I start the liquid diet? I thought I had all the info I needed untill I got that letter and all of a sudden my brain blanked out all known info. HAHA :guess

Any way, I'm supposed to call my surgeon's office ( Dr. Cribbins) Monday to get a surg date. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight....excitement reigns supreme!!

Yippeee Christine!!! Way to go...it'll happen before you know it! Good for you!

Thanks Kathy!! I am very excited and nervous at the same time!!

I haven't told may people about doing this just incase the ins. turned me down..Now.....Look out!! I'm gonna be blabbing it all over the place!! lol

CONGRATULATIONS Christine! Good luck to you and yipppppeeeee! Laura

Hi guys!!

I have my surg scheduled May 6th....I'm a nervous wreck!!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I have been going through my closet this week trying to find any of my "skinny" clothes (for me that is only a size 18 or 20) so I will have a couple of things to wear, Not much luck in that department though..I've been a size 22 for about 9 years and had gotten rid of most of my old clothes, so I guess I'll be hitting the thrift stores.. anybody know a good one in the Garland, Richardson Plano area??

Congratulations! It will be here before you know it! I am excited for you too!

Hi Christine,

I'm being banded on May 4. We're band sisters!!!! Yippppeeee What part of the world ar eyou in?????

I'm starting at 244-5 ish also!! I have vacation the week before so I'm hoping I won't have time to obess over it.

Debby,

I'm in north Texas, Sachse actually which is a suburb of Dallas. Where are you?

Now we can support each other through this...

Where did you get your weight tracking thing that is with your signature??? I need to get one of those!! So I can see ho much I've lost. I have also decided to get a box of large paperclips, for every pound I loose I add 1 to the chain untill I have enough to hang in the bedroom... Just something visual for me to see the numbers...

Congratulations to you!!! We are all on the sidelines cheering you on!

Hi Christine,

Congrats on getting approved. I am still waiting. My daughter lives in Wylie and goes to church in Sachse so I come through there almost every week. Good luck on your surgery. Where are you having it?

Judy, I'm having my surg done at the Plano surg center with Dr. Cribbins. Who is your dr?

I am going to Trinity and my doctor is Dr. Veninga. That is if the insurance comes through.

Hey I like the paper clip thing! Very creative.

The ticker on the bottom of the posts. I'm no expert but go to the web site. Just click on one. Make it and Copy it, then paste is on your signature. I don't know how to change it except to do it again.

I'm getting excited! I needed to buy clothes for vacation to Disney the week before and I bought very sparingly because I hopefully won't need this size for long. My goal to to have a summer without the W on my size 18's (or 16's).

Who came up with that W system. It sucks emotionally.

Good luck on the waiting

Congrats that is very good news..

Congratulations and now everything else will seem to go really fast. Good luck.
