One week away from surgery and I'm getting the jitters. Not cold feet, just nerves. This is not just a "go get your carpal tunnel fixed" type of surgery. It's a type of surgery that will change...

Today is my pre-op work-up with the pre-op nurse and my last pre-op visit with the dietitian. I'm hoping and praying that my hard work these last 2 weeks is going to reflect on the scale because...

What a road I've traveled since my last entry! I finally got approval in December of 2010 and was scheduled for surgery in January 2011. I got the news while I was speaking with Dan at OZ Fitness...

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. That's the way it's been. Good thing I'm a patient person and doing ok without the surgery. We're finally back on track and (hopefully) only have 1 more set of hoops to...

After so much time and energy I finally got the surgery approval from the insurance company today. I could not believe the hoops I had to jump through to get to this point. It would have gone a...

I am so encouraged. I had my consultation appointment with Dr. Bright today. He reviewed my health history, talked about options and did an exam. He said that because I'm healthy, my upper...

I go in for my GBS consultation with Dr. Bright next week (12/10/09). It's been a year since I first started thinking about this. I was ready to go for it then and use our home equity line of...
