Freaking out! Very OT but I need my OH fam!
Just wanted to kind of share what I am in the middle of with you guys since we have been through so much together..
I am putting the last touches on a very monstrous and extensive application for veterinary school, to be mailed in full tomorrow! Every transcript, letter of recommendation, and tons of forms have been filled out and are ready to go..Its the culmination of 8 years of school work coming to a head...
I am nervous, excited, and scared all at the same time. I should know within 2 weeks if they grant me an interview.
In the meantime I am trying to do everything to get myself right to be able to leave for this huge journey.
My VSG was step one, I got myself on track healthwise. Wanting to be a vet is one of the major reasons I had this surgery. I will have to stand and operate and I wanted to be able to do that comfortably. I am also happy I will "look" the part. I want to be a medical professional, with a Dr. in front of my name, and lets face it, people judge your abilities based on your appearance. That is society. I am so happy I dont have to worry about hiding my fat when I go in for an interview. I know they will see and hear me, not just see my morbid obesity on judge me on that.
I am tentatively scheduled for a tummy tuck and breast lift moved to November 1st..It is a step towards my new life, away from this morbid obesity and towards a commitment to a healthy life..The vet school I am applying to is in the Carribean and I want to be able to wear any bathing suit I want, without having to explain my pouch. Maybe thats vain..But I dont care if its vain. I want my fresh start.
The last step is seeing a therapist to wrap my head around all these changes from this year and coming up..If you havent seen a therapist, GO!!!! Its been great in helping me sort out all these changes in my life...I even feel it will help make me a better student.
This past year has been focused on making me the best me I can be and its been a real trip, getting to know myself, my strengths better than ever..
Anyhoo, keep your fingers crossed for me to be granted an interview !!!! I will keep you guys updated on everything.

Hun, This ALL sounds so wonderful. All these wonderful changes you are making for
yourself. I am very happy to hear you are seeing a therapist. That alone will help you
get through a lot of your stuff. At least you can dump to someone face to face or just
share.
First and Foremost, Congratulations accomplishing 8 years and going out to get
a job in a field you have always desired. Dr..... How amazing and again an Awesome
accomplishment.
Regarding TT and Boobs. Freeaking AWESOME girl. You have olive skin. Please let me
know how your healing and how the scare is. I am afraid of a TT because i scare so
dark and purple that it stays with me for at lease 2 2 1/2 years. I am trying to remember
from my hysterectomy. but this is just my own issue. Jenn looks Fabulous and a lil hottie.
You are always a hottie( now) and the finishing touches to come... OMGAAAWD your going to knock them dead!!!! So remember me when i follow your TT and BOOB journey.
I wanna see before and after pics if this is ok.
I am soooOOOooo proud of you. And the freaking Caribbean....??? Girl you will live it up.
Be selective when that man comes in your life if you dont have one already........
Your definitely a catch... but wait awhile if your single......You wanna enjoy life with the new
you. If your married..... enjoy that too....

Hey Sassy,
I've followed your progress and have really seen you develop in many ways..... reading this rundown just confirms to me that you got your **** correct......
I see a very inspired young woman on a mission.... a mission to better yourself and a mission to complete something you started.
I don't think you need "Luck"

Your gonna be fine !

I still stand by that declaration. My hunch is, if you have gone after your education in the same way you have worked your weight loss, you are going to be accepted into their program.
I Love LOVE LOVE my vet -- he has treated my great danes, my parrot, a couple reptiles, a bunny and a tortoise over the years. I trust him more than most of my own doctors !!!
Good luck with the college board !
