7 months whats new

im never really on VST much but i stop by here when i can. last blog i posted i weighed in at 221 i believe. today i am 7 months (almost 8) and i weigh 185. a total loss of 95lbs so far. im happy, but sometimes i still feel "fat" lol i constantly have to do side by side pics to remind myself how far ive come eventhough i dont see it, other people do. to be honest i dont exercise like i should. but starting the beginning of september im joining the gym at my job. my birthday is next month and i would LOVE to be 100 lbs down or a little more. im thankful for the sleeve

Dont Wanna Rush

im super excited about getting the vsg. i want it now! :wub: lol but i dont want to rush it. im concerned because i see a lot of ppl posting about having endoscopy tests done and having psych evals. my doctor hasn't mentioned any of this yet. i live in mobile alabama. i already had my consult and i have about 4 more visits to go before approval n etc.i had my consult early because he wouldn't have any other appointments available until next year. im just wondering is the psych eval and other things necessary? and if so why hasn't my doc said anything about it yet? i do remember him saying he's not gona do a scope since i dont have any problems with acid reflux n etc.

3 months whats new?

3 months post op and ive been stalling this past week. been fluctuating between 221-224lbs but yesterday i started back at the gym so we will see how this goes for the next few weeks. i said im not gonna weigh myself again until may. but today i did weigh 221.8lbs. so far since surgery i only got sick once, and that was from chewing like 3 times and not 30. i cant eat boiled eggs whole, only chopped up. i cant eat greasy foods like conecuh sausage or rotel dip but maybe i will be able to further out. clothes are getting too big but im scared to try on new clothes. i went from a 3x in scrubd to a 2x and now at 3 months im fitting in a xl size scrubs. so far so good. i just hate the stalls but no worries or regrets. looking forward to how i will look at my 6 months post op! oh! AND im down about 58lbs

APPROVED!

earlier today i was browsing on here and a girl who says she has bcbs of alabama approved her in 3 days. well i have the same insurance. so today around 11ish i got really nervous. like it literally hit me outta nowhere. the what if's set in. i was like omg what if i get denied, i will be mad as hell. BUT around 230ish my surgeon called and said Angel guess what? i said they denied me?! he said oh no they approved you! you were a perfect candidate there was no reason for them to deny you. now lets set a date   it was only one day! i thought i was gonna have to wait forever since its close to the holidays. but it only took ONE DAY. im so happy and so grateful that i can live my life feeling good about myself! thank you jesus! so my date is set for january 14th 2013. im soooo excited! losers bench here i come! if i could do a back flip, cartwheel i would! ha! one of these days i WILL be able to!

The Weirdest Dream!

so last night i dreamed that i was packing my overnight bag for the hospital to have surgery. i woke up thinking it was real. it FELT so real. am i that anxious to get my sleeve? lol   i just pray to god that all goes well when the time does come. i know this is what i want but i keep asking myself "are u really ready for this?"   its the small things that count. the other day i bought a dress in a size xl just because i know im gonna be able to fit it in a few months   i work at a hospital and we have to wear isolation gowns for some of our patients. the gown wont fasten on me but i told mself "girl, this wont be a problem soon"

Crohnes Disease?

do people with crohnes disease qualify to have the sleeve?? my mom has crohnes disease as well as diabetes. she said after i get my sleeve she is going to look into it. i know some doctors will do it and some doctors wont.
