So far things are good. I've been working with my PCP, as well as the Surgeon for the post op weight loss. I've gotten back on my lifting and work out routine for the most part, with more breaks in between, need to get more consistent.

Last year I took home overall at one at my local gym, so I may show up to defend my title.

So far things have been well, but as time draws near, I'm getting more nervous about the whole situation. I'm hoping and praying things continue to just go smoothly, and we can work everything out that needs to be worked out.

I got a letter today from the insurance company stating they aren't covering some of the Dr. visits I've recently gone to with my surgeon. Kind of in freak out mode and thinking the insurance co. is going to haggle their way in to turning me in to a out of pocket patient, which means no surgery. I'm trying to not worry, but it states pretty clearly that the services rendered aren't covered on my plan, however the 4 people I asked at the insurance company said surgery was, and the insurance lady
