Well i have my time...1015 tomorrow morning...20 hours to go.  I have to be there at 815am...goody, i love mornings!!

Almost here.  I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  I guess I'm like everyone, I just want the day to get here...i'm tired of the waiting, and waiting.

I go Thursday for my pre-op at Highland. 

of all the dumb things...last Friday i broke a tooth completely in half and have to have it pulled out Thursday too.  SO stressed over that. 

Just two weeks to go... :-)

Seems like it is sooo far away yet, but I know it will be here quickly.  Just 24 days to go.  Been such a long road, but a great one. 

I get nervouse thinking about the surgery and the recovery.  Feel blessed to have such a great surgeon though.  And of course my husband steve has been completely supportive and helpful. 

Still waiting for the call to schedule my preop testing.  I suppose that is my last big appt until surgery day. 

For so many years now I have worn a 34W or a 5x, 6x.  This past weekend i had the chance to walk through some store that I haven't been able to shop at in many years.  I started browsing through the racks, thinking about what I would be able to wear maybe this summer.  I wouldn't have to order my clothes only from the internet or catalogs.  I'm thinking I should be saving money for a shopping spree.

I have uped my workouts to atleast 5 days a week, aiming for 7 days a week.  I'm amazed on what I wasn't able to do just four or five months ago seems rather easy to me now.  Used to be a 15 minute cardio workout left me drained and barely able to make it up the stairs.  Now i do 40 mins and even have some weights involved. For the first time in probably 13 plus years my back doesn't hurt, ache or have those shooting pains.  That is so nice.  It actually feels good to exercise, love the stretching, gives me much more energy than i ever thought possible.  I can't imagine how good I will feel when 100 pounds plus comes off too.

Funny thing is -- I have had my letter a few days, thought it was something else and never opened it.  I have my approval letter from BCBC Excellus.  March 25, 2009 is my date.  Five weeks to go.  Right in the letter from the insurance company they tell me that upon excessive weight loss i'll have excess skin and they won't cover it.  Boy they want you to know they wont cover plastics huh.  Got to love the insurance companys.
