Moving along..

I had my initial consultation with the surgeon on March 18th. I have one more month of supervised dieting and I have my psychological evaluation tomorrow. Things are moving along quickly and Im hoping for a quick insurance approval (fingers crossed) and the doctor would like to see me in surgery in May. It seems "more real" now...

I know how you feel. When I actually got my date for surgery, I was completely shocked for a good week. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything goes smoothly. Good luck!!!

Heather That is GREAT! my thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs Kristen

Hi Heather!! Wishing you all the best and a speedy approval.  I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you.    I remember oh so well when I was at this stage it definitely makes it all real when you are closer. Best wishes!

Thank you everyone..i see all of you losing weight...and I think...damn...If I get surgery in May...by August I could possibly have lost 40 pounds...lol...Im supposed to go to my friends "purple reign" birthday party at the aquarium the end of August...(everyone must wear purple)...and I want to glam it out...lol

I will say, and I doubt I am the only one who feels this way... any weight loss, even if it's not the exact number you thought it would be, makes you want to glam it out. It's energizing! Everyone loses differently, but 40 pounds isn't out of reach for the first 3 months. The important part is to follow doctors orders, and do what is best for your body. The rest will fall into place. I'm wishing you a speedy approval! It's exciting, but the waiting can be a killer, lol. Just ask anyone who toughed it out with me waiting for approval. I drove them crazy here, lol.

Heather- keeping my finger and toes crossed you'll get a speedy approval!! Let me know how the psych eval goes- Good luck! Donna
