  1. Farewell

    Today is actually an awesome day -- I received my surgery date of October 6, 2011. Unfortunately, we ran in to some insurance issues and the surgeon tried everything in her book of tricks but BCBS federal will not cover a sleeve for me. It seems that they look for co-morbidities relating to stomach issues for sleeve coverage. I'm actually happy to say that I do not have any. So is a gastric bypass for me. How do I feel about that?

  2. It's for real!!!!

    What an awesome day.

I actually made an attempt to do my personal training session and the trainer took one look at me and sent me home (I love her not only because she's excellent but she didn't even charge me).
