I need to make a shirt that says “shut up” and then wear it to work. ‘Cause this girl never ever shuts the hell up.

This morning I had my appointment with the surgeon at the WLS center. He arrived late because something came up, but while I was waiting the nurse manager got a call from my health plan saying that I was approved for the surgery! Usually people have to wait like weeks to find out, but I got an answer before I’d even seen the surgeon! Crazy. So then we set my surgery date for August 9th. That was such a relief, I was afraid I’d have to wait forever to find out, but now it’s all set. I’ve got the Pre-Op appointment with the surgeon , plus my Pre-Admit interview on that previous Friday (Aug. 6th) and then that Monday is the surgery… I’m nervous and excited and scared and excited all at the same time. Overall I’m looking forward to it. Of course I’m nervous and a lil scared of what could happen, but I feel that I’ll be well taken care of and that these people know what they’re doing. Oh and the really great part is that I don’t have to have that icky Endoscopic exam thing, where they stick the camera down your throat. I’m just having an Upper GI done, where you drink the icky dye stuff and they do an x-ray of your stomach. That’s perfectly fine with me

I also have to wait a couple weeks and then write my surgeon a letter telling him that I understand the procedure and all that it entails and that I really do want this surgery and that I’m ready for it. Which I already know that I am. I’ve been researching and thinking about this thing for so long that I’ve gone through the whole “should I or shouldn’t I” thing. I can say that now having been through those classes and heard & read stories that I have a different view on it than from when I first heard about it on TV or in magazines. It’s a whole lot tougher than you think. You have to make serious changes and really commit yourself to it all. I have no intention whatsoever of gaining any weight back, that would be a total slap in my face and the sugeons, that would be ridiculous.

In other news… I looove making a sandwhich in the cafeteria at work. I don’t know why I waited this long to make one. Soo freaking good. I used wheat bread, dijon mustard, ham, turkey, lettuce, cheese and tomato and it is soooo good. Why can’t I make a sandwhich like that at home?

So I cancelled the party I was going to have at the house on the third of july because I need to use all my money on moving. I got the 9th of July off so I can start moving stuff, and then move all the big heavy stuff on the 10th. I can’t wait for that. Which reminds me, I need to get a lottery ticket. Because how can you win if you don’t enter the contest? Exactly.

I wanna go to Aruba in October, although I probably won’t have the time (or money) to do it. John Mayer is playing out there and it would be soo frickin cool to go, but alas it shall remain a “cool thing to do” unless of course I win the lottery between now and then.
