As we prepare to enter 2015, I have completed the first four months of my insurance required appointments. I successfully passed my psych evaluation and have been steadily meeting with my dietician and exercise physiologist. I have come so far and I am ready...well mostly.

My next two weight loss dr. appointments are scheduled with my last one scheduled for February 11th. Pre-op is scheduled for January 29th. So I could go any time after February 11th. I have been ready. I am prepared and then this little thing called a career popped up and may have seemingly gotten in my way. After years of trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up did it finally come to me in October. I started doing research about advanced degree programs and found one that was going to work perfect. I enrolled and much to my surprised joy I was accepted into the program. The program is online so it is going to work with my schedule both before and after WLS. However I have to take two classes at a time to maintain my full time financial aid status.

Did I mention that I am already in an MBA program? Of course I didn't lol. Well I understood that I had 18 months left before completing it. Because of that I had decided that I was just going to stop and take the other program in its place since the completion time was the same. I called my adviser at the MBA school and explained that I had a career change coming and what my plans were. His response was, "You do realize that you can complete the program by April 6th right?" I was astounded. I couldn't understand how this could be. He explained that a few years ago there were changes in some of the requirements and I was not required to enroll in the concentration classes. So I could graduate in just a few short months. So I decided right there and then I needed to finish. However I was also already enrolled in my other two classes that are set to start January 22nd.

So here I am in a quandary. Do I wait until April to have my gastric sleeve or do I do it in February/March as originally planned? I want to achieve success in both of these. But I am afraid to wait until April and I am afraid if I don't.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Welcome to the rest of our lives!!!
