Well, I got the call today that I'm approved through my insurance for RNY surgery with Dr. Overcash.

I'm scheduled for 3/11/09.  Scared as heck!!!  But I'm guessing that's probably normal?!  

I realize the first few weeks are going to be painful, between the recovery process and the fact that my brain will have to relearn eating habits, it's gonna be a rocky road, but it's what will be best for me to live a longer, fuller life!
