Almost 10 months out.

I should be posting more. I don't know where the time goes. 
I am down 136 from my highest weight ever. So that is great. Although the weight loss is slowing down. It is kinda depressing when it slows down. But I guess it has to when you are closer to the end of the journey.
My Dr says I am a success. he would like me to lose another 10 lbs. I would like to lose about 40 or 50. But I guess if I have some plastic surgery that wil cover maybe 20 lbs of it. So really I only have about 20 lbs to lose I guess. WOW it is amazing!!!

Well hello everyone, I was one of those people that was going to keep this up to date and not let it go a long time without posting. LOL What happened to that??
Well it has been now 4 months, and I am down a total of 95 lbs since the beginning....although 35lbs of that was the pre-surgery diet.
everything has been going well. Eating is not hard. I am never hungry. Feeling great. Losing alittle hair though. But the Surgeon said that will grow back. No problem.
Still have about 70 more lbs to go to what I would like to be at. Hopefully that will go fast!!!
Hopefully I will write more soon!

Surgery coming up soon! August 29th, 2007

Well the surgery is coming up, next wed I have to be at the George L Dumont hospital in Moncton at 5:30 in the morning.
Getting pretty nervous now. Had a dream last night that they couldn't put me to sleep before the surgery. he he he
I don't think it really hit me until I booked the hotel room for my Dad, Mom and my Fiance Blake. Right after I hung up the phone I was pretty shaky and nervous. I guess it didn't seem real until I started to prepare and make plans.
Hopefully everything will go well, I haven't been in the hospital before ever, so getting pretty nervous.
Send all your good thoughs and prayers my way if you can! Thanks!

I guess I haven't written in a while.
I went to the internist in June 2006 and he wrote the letter for Medicare. I didn't hear anything from medicare at all. So I emailed them. They sent back an email saying that a letter was sent to the internist as well as Dr B. and for me to call the internist for the answer.
So I called the internist....he was on vacation. I couldn't wait 2 weeks for him to come back to see what the answer was....emailed medicare again and told them he was on vacation for 2 weeks could they send me a copy of the letter. They did! they attached the letter they had sent out. It was dated the day after I saw the internist. I was approved.
So I waited a month and a half....didn't hear anything. decided I should call Dr B to see if they had a date for my all day session yet. GOOD THING I CALLED!!!!!!! He hadn't gotten a copy and was still waiting for me to be approved. I would never have gotten a call!
She said that they were waiting on a girl to see when she was going to be out who does part of the all day session and would get back to me. I heard back from them in Nov. The day before they wanted me down for an all day session. Which is ok. They are pretty good here at work so I was able to go with short notice.
next call was for the signing of the papers. That was Jan 5th. Now I am all signed and waiting for a call to go for the 3 hour tests. haven't heard anything as yet. When i did sign the papers the Dr said that likely I would have surgery in a couple of months. So hopefully I will hear soon. From talking to other people they have all gotten an answer of 3-6 month waits, and reading about people who are getting calls for surgery seems like you get a call for the 3 hour tests about 2 months after your signing, then about a month after that surgery. So I am hoping that March will be the month! I want the process to get under way!!!! Want to get this done so that I can be healthy and try to have a baby before I am too old to have one. :) I am getting up there so not much time left. Actually I should have done all this long ago...should have all my baby trying done by now. I hope I am not too late!
