I GOT MY DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

OM FREAKIN GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I called my surgeon's office to speak with the insurance guru to tell her more paperwork has been faxed and to see if Kingley had sent her my Nut Eval, that's another long story.....she put me on hold twice and I assume called Kingley to see what the hold up was. Well she got it needless to say!!!  Then she says we can pick a surgery date!!!  I said WHAT??? She has everything I need to chose my date....so my surgery will be on May 19, 2009.  Dr. Abkin will be preforming the surgery in the new Florham Park Surgery Center. 

I even asked the Insurance Specialist if she had the right person and she read off my Date of Birth...so it was me!!!

So I ran down to my Mom's office, she works in the same building as me...crying to tell her what just happened, then I called my Mentor/Boyfriend and told him all about it. We were expecting this until August. 

I am still shocked, excited, scared, nervous but all in all I can see the light at the end of the tunnel has come closer!!  I am sooo thankful for this website and all the wonderful inspiring people I have met here!!!

So only 6 more weeks to go and I'll be a true member of the group!!! 

Tommy...thank you so much for ALL you have done for me and with me, you truly are my rock and inspiration!!!! XOXO

Congrats KImi!!

I know it doesnt feel like it...but it REALLY will fly by! LOL I cant believe Im already 6.5 weeks post op! My post op advice...is to Walk, Walk, Walk and then Walk some more. It really helps!

Good luck and keep us posted!

YAY! I remember that day like it was yesterday. And they are right, it will fly by. Use this time to really get to know your new way of life. Practice chewing and eating slowly and try and see if you can go 30 minutes before and after a meal w/out drinking anything. And the walking is SO important. I wish I could go back in time and walk like I was supposed to. I probably would have lost 50 more pounds by now :) Congratulations! I'm almost 7 months out and I can tell you that it will be a long ride but it will all be worth it. And you already are a true member, you just don't have the tool yet. It's like joining a club and waiting for your membership card in the mail. Doesn't make you any less of a member
