I have a date!!!

I heard from the surgeon's office today and my insurance company approved my surgery! I do the pre-op tests next week and my surgery is set for 12/20. Wooohoo!! Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me over the past year. Robin

Robin, congrats to you!!! Way to Go!!! I am saving you a seat on the losing side... BTW, being almost 20 months out, there is one thing that I wish I had done that I didn't...I wish that I had taken measurements prior to surgery....At the time, I didn't want to face those numbers, but now, down 130 lbs, wearing a size 6, I wish I had those numbers to compare....also, there are times when I was on a weight loss plateau, but yet myclothes were getting bigger each day...and I believe that I was losing inches but not pounds on the scale....and having those measurements would have made me realize that my body was still "losing"... Best wishes to you...keep us posted. RAE

Thank you! And thanks for the great tip! I am a member of Curves, and I want to make a point to get measured before I go in for surgery. I love how they plug the numbers in and give me a little chart with my progress. And congrats to you on your success!

Thanks, Angel! I tried to check out that virtualmodel web site, but I kept getting an error. Congrats on your success!
