So I got insurance approval this week and surgeon's office offered October 14 but I asked to put it off until early December. Between work and school I figured it would be best to do this between semesters and in time to be back at work before Christmas holidays and prior to the flu season/other respiratory disaster****ting full force. 

This is getting scarily real, a little nervous I must admit. Still feel I have some things to work through-made some progress but still more to go. What I DO know is that I have to take control of my health and my weight is a huge factor in that. Looking forward to increased mobility and cute clothes and all kinds of nsvs, but really just want to feel better and be healthier. 

Dec. 2, 2014-DDay for me.
