So now what?  I have to call and schedule the surgery.......I am freaking out!  I am going to a support group tonight so the timing couldn't be more perfect!  I can't believe this is actually going to happen for me!!!!!  Today is the beginning of a new life!!!!!

Congrats.  Now, just call the office and ask them to get you a date. Spend the next few weeks really trying to stick to a low carb diet, order protein and vitamin samples, get the house clean and in order, throw away your FAT winter clothes (you'll be much smaller by the time it get's cold), make sure all the bills are caught up, get your leave request for work, update your will if you need to...

You'll have a zillion things to do to keep you busy the next few weeks :-)  You'll be glad to get to the OR, so you can get some rest.

Congrats!!!  Excited for you - I know yesterday you were worried about the approval.  Good job!  What kind of surgery have you decided to have?  I have heard GREAT things about Dr. Macik...wish I could use him...(my insurance doesn't cover him)  :(  Anyways - good luck!!

LaShelle,
Funny you should mention clearing winter clothes out of the closet because I just starting doing that this past weekend.  I told my husband that I won't be wearing these sizes when the cool weather comes so I might as well get them bagged & ready to donate.  Now he's worried about the cost of a replacement wardrobe!  What a dream come true!

You will be best friends with your local Goodwill and Consignment stores if you're anything like me.  

I'll be doing another clothes swap in October with my support group, so maybe we can exchange some winter clothes then. There were tons of clothes swapped at the last one...
