To switch or not to switch?

Nov 21, 2013

That is the question the doc asked me today. Well duh, I wanna get switched. I had my appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Blackstone and she says that I'm in a "perfect" place to have the 2nd stage of the DS. My labs were pretty good, with a few exceptions. Like D3 was low and protein was borderline low. Everything else was great. My BMI is currently a 39 which still qualifies me for bariatric surgery. (yup, still considered obese even after losing 130+lbs). I asked her tons of questions and she spent over an hour with me. I was so impressed that she did that. Just goes to show was a great doctor she is. So next on the agenda is to submit my paperwork to the insurance company for approval. I should have an answer next week, hopefully. Last year, it only took my insurance 1 day to reply, lets hope this time they are as swift in their decision. I'm so thrilled right now. It's like going through the whole process all over again but it's a good feeling. Unless they deny it, that would suck. But I'm just going to think positive, happy thoughts and pray lots. I really miss my mom right now and wish she was here so I could share this news with her. She was always my #1 supporter. I want to make her proud. After getting home from Phoenix and putting away all my TJ goodies, I went to the gym and had a great workout. I just wish I someone could go and workout with me. *sigh*

Ok, I'm off to bed now. Night night OH peeps.
