I want to be losing by the New Year

I really want to go into 2008 on a downward trend weight wise. I am hoping that insurance won't dawdle and I can get something scheduled before then. Anything, even if its the week before. I am having this "i am old and time is slipping away while im a fat cow" mental thing going on. I think since my job is relatively cooperative with medical stuff I am going to volunteer to take a cancellation spot. It might mean short notice but damn I really want this done and out of the way. I feel like I am in a holding pattern. I am trying to cut back on my eating now, move more, 'gearing up' as it were. But since my thyroid died and I've gone hypothyroid, if i even look at food I gaine 3lbs. At this rate I'll be over 300 by new years! argh.

Has Lisa filed the Ins. yet?  You will be fine. I have hope that it will happen for you. Did they mention when the first WLS appt. with the Dr.would be. You have UHC also? Remember, my approval only took two days. Have you called the Ins. Co yet to check on the statis? Are you planning on going to the meeting Tuesday night? 

Dr S said they were filing it Friday so I plan to start harrassing UHC this week (LOL). I will be at the meeting tuesday :) Dr. S does more than just WLS so I don't know how his schedule works out, whether that makes it easier or harder to get in..
