I am till ding the diet contest. have lost 17 lbs so far!

I am still waiting to hear from the insurance.

I am still participating in the weight loss challenge.  in 5 weeks am minus 16 lbs!!!

Results for Psychiatric Evaluation

Today I went to see the psychiatrist to get the results of my psych eval.  Dr said I passed except when it came to stress. So he gave me some suggestions on how to reduce the stress. Read, bubble bath, TV, movies, walk, go to park, have a picnic. Take at least 20 min a day for me time. Sometimes that is easier said then done. But I will try!
He is now going to turn his report in to surgeon who will turn into insurance. So I may get an answer in 2 weeks!!

BTW---3 more lbs gone.  :)

week of 7-23-12

I did a weigh in on Monday for the Pounds for Panties challenge.  2 lbs more lost.  I am going the right direction.  That is a positive think!  Someone told me to just keep dieting and exercising and I wont need the surgery.  But at this rate, it will take me 70 weeks to get down where I want.  That is a long time! 
I am still just waiting on the psych eval to be sent to the surgeon.  I am supposed to go next Tues and go over the results with the Dr.  I hope they send it to the surgeon before I go to my appt. 
Until then I jsut continue to wait.  Maybe by the end of Aug I will have an answer. 

Pounds for Panties

I have joined a weight loss challenge with some friends.  We have to send in our weight on Mondays.  Yay!  another reason to hate Mondays.  LOL! 
From Mon the 9th to the 16th I lost ..........7 lbs!!  I am ready for this surgery.  I am in the right frame of mind and I am ready to work on me. 

Until next time..........  : )

The Doctors Visit

I went to the doctor.  Guess what she told me.  Guess what she told me.  She said girl u have lost 18 lbs since March!!  Now she is faxing all the paperwork over so the Dr can send it to insurance and hopefully get approval!!  Can you tell I am excited??  Hope to post soon a date!!

Psych Eval

Today was the psych evaluation.  It took over an hour.  I had to answer 344 questions on one test.  There were also 5 other tests.  I would estimate I answered over 500 questions.  Glad that part is done.  Now, tomorrow, I go to my pcp to weigh in and have vitals taken.  I think then all the paperwork will be compiled and sent to the insurance to get approval.  So I am waiting till them.  I will try to post tomorrow what happens at the Dr visit  
Til then....
