I got insurance approval yesterday afternoon for my surgery!
I didn't sleep a wink last night. Really it was 2am when I last looked at the clock. I get up at 6:30.
Regardless, I'm a happy girl.
If things go as scheduled I'll be having the surgery on December 19th. I'm learning not to put too much stock in the time frame others give me. But I do hope that's the day. It will fit my life perfectly. I'll be done with school for the quarter. Work will be closed the second week of my recovery. (I plan on being off work for 2 weeks.) And my initial week back to work will be quiet, because most the staff and all the kids will be gone. I can't be happier.
I also want to take a minute to acknowledge that this isn't going to be easy, and I know that. I want to be successful and I'm putting things into place to make sure that I am. I'm working out 4 to 5 days a week now. I plan on continuing that. I'm not so sure how my energy level will be with a liquid diet, but I'll make sure to get the right stuff in me to keep moving forward. I'm continuing with counseling as I go through this too. I know the emotional stuff can and will drag me down if I don't keep on top of it.
Not having coffee for 6 months is going to be the worse part of all of this. I say that now, having only had 4.5 hours of sleep.

gotta get the pic thing situated
Apparently I need to figure out how to do the picture thing on here.
My case is under review with the insurance company. I should have an answer with 2 weeks. I don't know how quickly after that I'll get to have my surgery. This has been quite a year. If I were going to give up on the idea I'd have done it already.
But I have no desire to give it up.
I've been working out the last two weeks. One more week and I'll desire working out more than I'll desire sitting on my ass. But my body is hurting a bit. It's not too bad...actually it's rather cool to feel like I'm getting stronger already, or have having the ability to do a full 30 minutes of cardio.
A gave me an iPod for our anniversary. I LOVE IT! For working out it's the best thing ever. I'm trying to comprise my workout play list. I've got some stuff on there, I need to buy more music, but I'm cheaping out. I need to figure out the P2P sharing stuff. As you can see I need to get a bit more technically savvy.
It will happen. No doubt.
Well, soon I'll be posting before pictures. I'm actually going to take them wearing my bathing suit, which is astonishingly brave. But what the hell. It's an education. People need to know what fat women look like.
Kisses.
