weight loss journey

[hsegel 1]

I started my journey April 2012 when I attended the informational session. I did six dietician appts, my psych eval done by Oct 2012 then the wait was on for insurance approval. It took til the end of Dec to find out I was,denied because my bmi at the time was just below what they allowed. My surgeon sent them a letter telling them that I had followed their plan and had lost some weight but still had several health issues. In feb i heard that i was approved and two weeks later I had my surgery date of May 13th ( it just happens that I had my hysterectomy two years ago on may 13th). I go for my pre op teaching on April 22. I am so excited, I think about it all the time. I have been buying supplies but not too many, I have three grown kids that,are willing to do whatever I need them to do. I have a wonderful family :-)

I had,a very stressful weekend. My 5 year old granddaughter had emergency surgery on Fri night. At first they thought it was her appendix but when they went in they found out her right ovary twisted around the blood supply,which caused it to die. They had to remove it. Both the general surgeon and gynecologist said they had never seen the condition before on a 5 year old. They did a wonderful job and my granddaughter is doing wonderful, you would never guess she had surgery a few days ago. Makes me feel good it is the same hospital I will be going to for my surgery

So sorry to hear that your granddaughter has been sick. It sounds like she is on the way to recovering nicely. Thanking God for good doctors who can take care of issues.
