Ok, so after sitting on the decision for ages and ages we finally managed to get our crap together and get financing. That process was easy, we had originally scheduled the surgery for another doctor but the coordinator was so unprofessional that we backed out.

Finally we picked a doctor and on a whim my mom suggested that I apply for financing on a whim. I applied on a Sunday and was approved on a Monday. By Wednesday paperwork was signed and Friday the company paid for the surgery for my mom and I.

I've been putting this off for so long that now that it's been paid for I'm running full tilt. I'm having it on June 5th which is three weeks away. Time for a "last meal" and then to start my pre-op diet, head to Tijuana and have my surgery. Ready to get this done and then my mom and aunt are next!

Ok, officially I've made up my mind, I'm going to have the sleeve surgery. My dad and step mom have already had it and now my mom and I are ready to do it too. I think the best thing is that we know people personally who've had it and it's worked out well for them. Since my insurance doesn't cover it I'll be headed to Mexico. I feel fine about that especially since they seem to have lower complication rates than some of the surgeons around here. Plus with all the money we save I can return for plastics in a year or so. I am super freaked about having crazy saggy skin since I'm still in my 20's. I guess the other thing I think about all the time is the fact that I think about all the things people celebrate with food and I'm a little sad that this will have to change for me. Of course I've always dreamed of getting married and I still hope that will happen but it won't be the eat, drink, and be married party I thought it would be (at least for me). 

Of course all of that being said, I've started becoming something of a hermit. I've always loved going places but I just haven't felt like it, if this gives me a push to get back out there and do things I'll take it. I've got the career I love now I want the rest of it. Plus I'd love to be able to do things with my son without feeling like I'm dying. Of course I want to look good again, vanity is an excellent push.

More when I have a surgery date!
