OMGoodness... A surgery date already!

I have been lurking again lately, but had to come back out to share my good news! I cannot believe it, but my insurance approved me this time without even a request for more info. I did not even get a letter yet, but Heather from St V's called to get everything scheduled and said she had gotten the letter yesterday. I go on the 2nd for a scope, the 4th for my nutrition class, the 9th formy pre-op testing, and the 17th for my surgery! Holy cow! Now all I have to do is wean my twins... soon! I wanted to let you know that I think this is such a great site and I am so glad I found it. It has been so helpful to me over this journey so far and it is so comforting to know I can turn to people who have all been through it already when needed. Thanks! Belle

That's wonderful Belle!!! I'm so happy for you!! I have my nutrition class on the 5th, dang it, i was hoping I could finally meet another future loser. Oh well... What procedure are you having done? My Surgery is on the 14th of February Jessyca

Belle: That is WONDERFUL news! You will soon be on the losing side. You are among friends so join in anytime. Claudette

Wow. Great news. Hey we get to celebrate the same re-birth day. I was January 17 last year!

YEA!!!! good for you!!!! You;ll be a loser in no time!!! Linda

Wow, that's really quick! You will have a whirlwind January! Congratulations! Linda Vicory

Belle, That's just great!!! It will be here so soon. What a great gift to you and your family for the New Year! Keep us all posted on all the exciting things that happen for you! Blessings, Carmen

Thanks for the good wishes and I will keep you posted! I am already planning my last meal! Jessyca- That is a bummer we aren't in the same class! I am having a roux en y. Which are you doing? Carmen- Thanks, and congrats on the size 6. Even when I was "thin" I was a size 10. I cannot even relate to a size 6. I bet you may have felt that way too at one point, though! You are quite an inspiration. I keep trying to remember what you told me about your journey... exercise daily, less than 25 carbs daily, carry snacks with you when out with the kids! I welcome any other pointers too!

Thanks for the compliment! Are you comming to the clothing exchange? It would be great to meet ya, but you will be pretty newly postop I think! Carmen

Carmen- I was just thinking about the clothing exchange this morning. I figure I should hopefully be ready for the March one! I was actually thinking that probably not many people would need my clothes since they are size 26, and that was a shame because I have some nice clothes for work! I'll definitely participate, though, in a couple of months regardless. It will be great to meet some of you that I have been reading about! Belle
