Well, I'm back.  Never thought that I would be able to say that.  I started this journey back in 2009 and I cant believe that its been 2 years.  I was more of a lurker that posted occasionally, but I was on this site several times a day researching and meeting new people.  Well, I was well on my way to RNY surgery and I was so excited and busy trying to make my dream a reality that I was not paying attention to my cycle.  Just before I was ready to pay the fee to request insurance approval, I realized that I was starting to feel nauseous and my period had not shown up.  " Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" " There is no way I'm pregnant 'cause I'm about start my journey to becoming thin and healthy!"  My pregnancy was confirmed in early November of 2009 and I was devastated.  To say I cut up in the doctor's office would be an understatement. 

Two days before Thanksgiving and one hour before arriving in Pittsburgh, my husband and I finally talked about having another baby.  I guess we were both in shock.  We gave each other a pep talk and just before arriving to my mother-in-law's house, we were having another baby and it was OK.  One month later, we found out that we were having twins. Double wow!!!!  Fast forward to 26 weeks and 5 days, which was when I went into pre-term labor and had Johnathan and Jacob.  They were 1lb 14 ounces and 1 lb 13 ounces. The biggest scare of my life.  I have never been so worried and scared.  My babies spent 66 days in the NICU and came home on oxygen.  I think back now and wonder how I got through 2010 with all that was going on.  My main concern was my children.

Now that my babies are healthy and almost two years old, I feel that it is time to get back to ME!  Getting back on OH has been my first step and I look forward to continuing this journey................

Yes, I am still looking to get the surgery with Dr. Macik.  I need to give Robin a call and see if I need to start completely over or what. I'm pretty sure that I will need updated psych and nutrition evals. 

I do see that the activity is very low.  I was wondering where everyone went because the forums used to be much livelier in 2009.

Are you by any chance a state of GA employee? You know they dropped wls coverage for 2012. 

Praying you are not!

No, I'm not a state of GA employee.  I work for a comapny whose corporate office is out of California.  I have Blue Cross Anthem insurance, so I just need to make sure that there will be no changes for 2012.

Praying for the best!!!

Hey Girl,

Good Luck to you on this journey and congrats for never giving up!  It is really quiet here.  Its a shame but I can not say I have made it better.  Hopefully we can get it interesting around here!
