Progress!

I've been jumping through flaming hoops for six months now and finally, FINALLY, have my appointment with the surgeon on 7/9 prior to sending in the insurance papers. I didn't think the day would ever come. At the moment, at the suggestion of my PA,  I'm on the two week preop liquid diet just to prove to myself that I can do it. I started it 6/13 and have lost 16 lbs. I hope this break from old habits will help me refrain from going back to them.

Congrats on your appt.  Which surgeon are you seeing? Marilyn

Hi Marilyn~ I'm seeing Dr. John Scott at UT. I've already met him a couple of times, once at seminar and once during a visit with the PA. He seems like a super nice guy. Very down to earth. I'm already comfortable with him, which is a good thing. Rebecca

The other night I noticed what I thought was a meteor streaming through the sky.  Now I know, it was just you jumping through those flaming hoops!  Way to go!  It will be here before you know. 

Hi Scott~ Thanks for the great imagery! Yes, things seem to be moving very quickly now. I suppose I should be more nervous about having the procedure done and in less of a hurry, but truth be told, I've given all my worries over to a higher power and am concentrating on just getting better. I've never been a normal weight. Even as a kid. I just want to experience what its like to be able to walk with confidence and grace into a room. Toward that end, I've learned I'll do anything they ask of me...flaming hoops and all! I really appreciate your support. Rebecca

Congratulations!  I know that you are so excited and we are all excited for you!!!!  It won't be long before you'll be hopping up on that table to get your little surgery marks and start your new life as a loser!!!

Happy Day!
