One more step down...

I took my nutrition class this morning. 5 hour class covering everything we need to know to be successful with our new weight loss tool. And it covered all 3 major gastric surgeries (band, bypass, and sleeve) and the differences and pros and cons between them.

I had my psych eval last week, still haven't heard from anyone about it so I'll ASSUME I passed (I would like to think the psychologist would call me and tell me if I have any problematic mental issues).

Hopefully the surgeon got the fax from my PCP with my medical records that I released on Wednesday, but haven't heard from anyone one way or the other.

So it all comes down to this: whether or not the surgeon wants me on a 3 month diet program with counseling or not. I'm a little anxious about that. Until I get that locked in date, none of this feels real to me. It's all just rhetorical. "Oh I"m going to have weight loss surgery" just like I've said about a hundred different things "Oh I"m going to take up sewing" or "Oh I'm going to garden this year" or "Oh I'm going to get back to soapmaking".

I'm not nervous about having the surgery, I still feel very eager and comfortable with it, but if I just have this anxiety that my insurance will come back and say "Ya I know we cover this surgery but NOT FOR YOU!"

So I have to get on them this week to know what is going to happen from here on out. But one step down, hopfully not many more to go.
