There is alot of rain here,and I heard Arizona is getting their first rainfall since October!Hey Laurie?? You all getting alot of snow??Alot of folks around here think that snow is practically the sign of the devil!LOL!!!!It's very funny.I LOVE SNOW.......it's the ice that's bad.Bill and I have both fell on our "Bum's" several times already and we haven't really had much snow here.Seems the further south you get the less snow .It makes sense tho since Lake Erie is up north near Cleveland, Lake Superior as well as Lake Michigan.I am still trying to figure out where people go to ski around here.Bill and I slept in this morning and had a lovely Breakfast.I pancakes and bacon and he waffles and bacon:-0.......oh and dinki just had bacon.Bubba??? hmmmmmm......I don't think she came out of the closet yet.................I think she is still in there.Bill and I learned alot at my Seminar on Friday.he had a bit more to digest more than I.It's difficult still for him to understand but I believe he trusts in my decision for my health sake. I am choosing the Rou-en-y method.......look up the proceedure at WebMD under Gastric Bypass Surgery or just go to the Miami Valley Hospital http://www.miamivalleyhospital.com/bariatrics.htm website and you'll be able to get info there or of coarse you can just "google it". We have spoken breifly to the woman who is head of the finance dept at the Hospital and she told us that between both of our Blue Cross Blue Shield there won't be much to pay out of pocket.And my hospitalization is paid at a 100%.We will know to the penny how much we need to pay prior to me getting the surgery.It's paid for up front.At the seminar there was both men and women there of all sizes with very different stories to tell of their plight.We heard two testimonials.......one from a woman who had the surgery and after a yr and a half lost more than half her body weight.And she is now employed at the hospital Speaking and having one on ones with with patients as well as future patients.Shes in great shape even tho the did not opt for plastic surgery.She jokingly said she just relies on "strategically placed undergarments"LOL....another was from a young lady who at 22 yo had the same surgery as I will and she said she wanted the plastic surgery...........but she was alot bigger than I and I am to solid to need it.I will be able to pretty much get it back into shape tho not "perfect"through sit ups and my "strategically placed undergarments"hahahaha!!!!!!My first appointment is with my dietary consultant and she will do a brief assessment on me.I also will get a Psychiatric evaluation.I look forward to it all.The Hospital makes all the appropriate calls to get the "approval" and then Viola!!!!!!
Believe it or not,I am not scared one bit.........anxiously excited and happy as if I have prepared myself mentally for this all my life.
Stay tuned.........it will only get better..
