Yes, really.   I've been on vacation and haven't picked up my mail yet, but Alice at Dr. S's office called this morning.  Surgery is October 9th. This is really exciting and a little miraculous.  I didn't have a 6-month history, and Dr. S thought I'd have to fight it.  But, I did some research on OH and found that some insurance companies do waive the 6-month requirement if you can otherwise document a long dieting history.  We sent 5 years worth of PCP records and a 25-year diet history I'd cobbled up for Dr. S.  My shrink sent a really great letter, too. Yayyyyy God!  I've prayed a lot about this, specifically for Him to show me if it's really for me.

Edie, Congratulations on your approval and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a very speedy recovery!   You will be a loser before you know it. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Isn't it great to return from vacation to good news. Congrats and the time will be here b-4 you know it.  I see you've lost 4 lbs --keep it up -- keep doing cardio (walking) and that (I believe) helps with the healing portion of the surgery. Again, CONGRATS!
