So I had my MMPI test today. I arrived at the Boston Medical around 7:40AM. Tony checked me in, I payed $160.00 then I filled out a couple page multiple choice. Then Tony brought me and one other women into another room, told us what was in store for us, then we watched a TERRRIBLE video from i kid you not the 70s. Then towards the end of the video the therapist came in and took me to another room to basically interview me. She was really nice, and she asked me TONS of questions about my state of mind, my support system, basically evaluated me mentally. She said she had never given such a glowing report, which felt great!! She said I seem like I will do really really well with the surgrey and that she is not used to seeing people who have lost weight at this point. So then when we were done, I went back into the other room and took the MMPI test, which was close to 600 t/f questions which were very intersting. I finished around 11:15 and was back to work by 12:00. So now I guess the results for this come back in about three weeks. At that point Tony submits the paperwork to my insurance company, which can take another 3-4 weeks. Then from there when I'm approved, then they set a surgery date, which is usually about 3-4 weeks out. So bassically we are looking at Mid May sometime. Next steps: tomorrow, call PCP to make an appointment in a month for a letter of medical clearance from my PCP. Three weeks from today, March 29th, call tony to see if my test results were in.

I'm in a great place though, i'm loosing and am happy. So i'm down 12lbs, and if all goes well, I could loose another 18lbs or so for a total of 30lbs before the time of my surgery. So that's my next goal. It's an aggressive one, but I know I can do it.
