Well ladies, got my insurance approval letter yesterday. Now all we are doing is waiting for a date. I hope dr. V's office calls soon. I think at this point...i just want a date...no matter what date so that I have an end in sight for the waiting. I'm trying to MAKE myself loose weight. Yesterday I did pretty good, only ate liquids till about 4 then had and apple. dinner was bad though. I ended up caving and eating with the family. Meatloaf and mashed taters. Sigh at least I passed on the ice cream the rest had. I'll try to do better today. Meeting my dad for coffee after my workout. His young gf left and he is all sad and moppy. Anyone know of any ladies 45-60ish range looking? LOL

I have my consult with Dr. Bauman Oct 10th. I had filled out all the paper work online, and I didn't hear back from them. A coworker who had gastric bypass called them and they agreed to speak with me. When I called Angie informed me that they were waiting for me to call and make an appointment. I never got the 'approval' email either, so the phone call was necessary. However, I chickened out. I had a consult for Aug 18th and post poned it to 10/10 - there is so, so much to do. I have my consult in the am, my psych consult in the pm and the next day I have my nutrionist appointment. I also need to have an upper GI, I'm hoping Dr Bauman will order it.

I had found out a couple years ago I have GERD and a Hiatal hernia. So I hope the hernia could be fixed too.

I atteneded DR B's seminar and he was so awsome. I arrived late due to having the old office address and not the new one. Ofcourse, I didn't have cell phone access and I was lost in concord. Yuck.

I will be here to support you as I know you will be there for me. It's exciting. I will be doing my surgery in concord. I am also going to read up some on the 'nutrional' things that I'm lacking.
