OK, so today I got an unexpected, but exciting call from my Gastroenterologist office! I have been waiting to hear that our health insurance company has given the approval for my Sleeve surgery.

I have been on a weight loss program for the passed 7 months, and also exercising to satisfy our insurance company, and to show them I can lose weight, and I can eat better, and live healthier.

I have seriously made up my mind that I can do this, and I want the sleeve done. Well, today they called and said my insurance APPROVED me for the surgery, and it looks like I will only have to come up with a relatively small amount of money up front before I can have it done. I'm a bit nervous about it, kinda scared, but also excited! It will probably be about 3-4 weeks before my surgery date. I hope I survive the couple weeks before and the few weeks after that I can only have liquids! I know it will be hard, but I have already done so many things I have set my mind too in the passed 7 months, that I should be able to do this too! Right? Right! I can't wait to be able to wear a REGULAR size again instead of PLUS sizes! :wub: Until next time....
