Jan 3, 2008 started Liquid diet per instructions (low carb, low fat) Getting ready mentally and physically for upcoming rebirth and trying to contain excitement and worries

Jan 1, 2008 Weighed at friends and it came to 405 which made for a 30 pound loss for the year, always a good thing!

December  19  got the call that my surgery was finally approved, this after several calls to my therapists, physicians to get them to please turn in the things that I had requested (repeatedly) and they finally all did, took exactly 1 week to get approved from insurance thanks so much Blue Sheild! They scheduled me for a date of Jan 23, 2008.  Well didn’t make it for Christmas but still made it and that’s whats important!  Took a little over 3 months which is sadly just what the doctors predicted, but instead of it being the insurances fault it was the doctors and therapists that wouldn't turn in the information!  Frustrating RAWR!!!

Nov 16, 2007 Returned to therapist to finish up papers  she says she will write me the needed letter and have it ready to go by Monday, need to contact sleep doctor to get sleep study report sent over as well on Monday and then hopefully they will start the process.  She says she is going to recommend we get started asap preferably before the xmas holidays!

Nov 15, 2007 2^nd interview with Faith, seems very down to earth, wants to make sure that I am realistic about the procedure and the type of changes it will cause, she seems pleased ive done a lot of reading on the subject, and that I joined a pilates class to get some exercise.  Faith doesn’t think that my reasons for getting the surgery are because of imaginary illnesses but real medical problems (back injured, potential diabetes that runs in family, gynecological problems requiring hysterectomy because of PCO, etc).  Outlook still upbeat, trying to eat less overall and exercise but back pain making this very difficult to do on regular basis.  Still unable to go to work due to severe lower back pain.

Oct 29, 2007 After successful scoping with only minor throat irritation called in to DR.  Scarborough’s office to start insurance proceedings only to find out that I was needing to contact the psychiatrist over some sort of problem with my evaluation, she failed me saying that I’m to depressed and suicidal to successfully go through the surgery and that I am overly concerned with imaginary illnesses.  I have no clue what she’s even talking about, though as most people my size I do have some problems with depression, I’m certainly not suicidal.  The office can’t start the insurance part until I am cleared so I seek another therapist one that’s hopefully not going to just pigeon hole me based on some long scantron test and not even speak to me about the procedure.
