2 weeks

Been six months and two weeks to be sure. I called the docs and gently reminded them to send in the info to the insurace wranglers. I did that on Friday. Gonna call tomorrow to see that is was done.

The insurance wrangler or wench or HBIC said I should expect about 3 weeks for my insurance company to come back with a decision, then getting on his schedule to have the surgery shouldn't take much time at all. With the caveate that he may want me to have more tests done, but probably not.

I plugged the C-pap machine back in last night. The insurance woman said they'll want me to have been on it for weeks. I of course have had the machine for months but I hate using it, and I don't use it consistantly. But that too is changing.

So speaking of change I'm faced with the fact that I need to change how I eat now. Not later. I know that will change too, but I've got to get some control over how I put food in my mouth. It's irrational the way I eat. So here's to tomorrow being a better, more controlled day. No giant portions and no free for all when it comes to food.

Alison is making me a little scared about doing this too. But that her shit. She keeps saying that she's worried she won't find skinny me as attractive as chubby me. But there's balance with that too, she says it's me that she loves, the inside stuff. The package isn't all that important. How many fat chicks would love to hear that from their partners? Lucky I guess.

Later darlings.

Six months are up...

Today was the last of my six months of doctor supervised visits. Yea Haw.

Can't say the PCP was all that enthused or encoraging. I'm frustrated with her almost to the point of wanting to switch. How can a fat girl get good doctoring from a doc who doesn't get that fat happens because of bigger issues other than lack of self control.

Anyway, items from her and the shrink need to be sent to the insurance collectors and then I will wait to hear for approval from Med Ohio.
Then I wait to hear from the clinic.
Then I get a surgery date.
Then I get it done.
Then I recover.
Then I move forward, with this little tool under my belt, literally....that will have me at a better weight and living a longer life.

Or so that's what I'm thinking right now.
