I am excited for you too!

I have a meeting with my surgeon on Monday -to see if I need to switch surgeons. UGH, I am beginning to strongly dislike insurance companies!

I will be thinking of you and sending healing vibes in your direction ~~~~~

I leave for San Antonio first thing in the morning for my Monday morning surgery. I am not scared of the surgery, but the anxiety is for the life-changing aspects of it. I love to eat, I love food, and I have to keep telling myself that I'm not giving up my favorites completely, just reducing the amount. It doesn't make the anxiety go away completely, but it helps. I will need this forum for support when I get back. My husband is fully supportive but I haven't told my siblings yet. I really needed to have a good cry this afternoon, but it just wouldn't happen. I guess I just needed to vent a little.

Mine is later this spring and you are IMPORTANT to me! We won't care about huge portions or so many options. Our needs will be simpler, easier and more healthy! GO FOR IT. And keep us posted. Best of luck to you-------Margaret

I had my first visit with the surgeon last Thursday. i was disappointed to hear that my primary insurance has an exclusion for any type of weight loss surgery. I work in the office of a Physical Therapy company so I guess they believe I could just exercise this weight off. My secondary insurance will pay after the 6 month physician supervised weight loss regimen. I was so ready for this. It has taken me 2 years to get to this point. This should be my choice now. My BMI was 37.7 last Thursday. I am 55 years old, and just sick of being held back by my weight. I am not taking this lightly. I am scared, excited, and scared again. I simply love to eat. It is my friend and comfort and good time. I know it will be hard to fill in all the places that I have filled with food all these years.

I will be thinking about all of you that are taking this journey tomorrow. My prayers are with you. Kathy
