Stay Wild Moon Child

So today was my day I couldn't be any happier. My surgery day finally came 5/4/16. I was so scared and so nurves but once they wheeled me back and helped me into the OR table I was out. Once out of surgery I was so tired and so sore but still in and out of things. My mom brought my kids up and I loved that so much and then my bestie came with her friend and then my husband came and I loved it so much. Once they left I did a lot of sleeping and waking since the nurses come in about every 2hrs or so to take vitals and give you meds. Thursday was by off a really bad day for me I was so sick and in so much pain but I didn't want to complain. I went home Friday and Friday I was feeling good and so ready to go home.

That's right people my surgery is tomorrow may 4th yay I can't believe how fast these 6 months went. I did pretty good on my 2 week diet and today I am on a clear liquid diet. Tomorrow I check in at 10am and surgery at 12pm .

Yes I said it right, I finally got a surgery date after all this hard work. I cant be any happier as I am right now. We submitted to insurance on 4/13/16 and I am still waiting to hear back from them, lets hope it wont take to long. Now for Pre-Op    For the next two weeks I have to have 5 to 6 protein shakes a day and sugar free jello and sugar free pop slices. the picture above shows what I need to be doing right now. My measurements as of today:  Bust- 45 Natural waist- 40 Waist- 45 Hip- 50 Right upper leg- 28 Left upper leg- 28 Right calf- 17.5 Left calf- 17 Right arm- 14.5 Left arm- 15

At this point I am holding my breath to see f I really do get this surgery or not. I did go see a behavior health person and once again She even said there is no way I need 6 to 12 visits and hope Molina will take that as an ok to get the surgery. I go back to BH on the 25th of this month and will see what she says and if everything is ok and she feels comfortable she will write the letter and send it to Molina or rockwood. I will know more too on the 28th when I go and see my nut.

Late post I got this done bout 1.5 weeks ago,       Who loves tattoos I know I sure do but good God the pain of getting then is horrible. I don't do good with pain but I love tattoos. So in total I have 4 and I am getting a new one right now on my lower right calf area and yes this shit hurts bad. I have 1 on my lower back, 1 on each upper arm, 1 on my lower left arm on the inside. This tattoo is over do and I am getting it done for my grandma who passed away on July 9th 2009 of ovarian cancer that spread all over her body. She was an amazing woman to us grandkids. She was also a amazing great grandma also. She was so sweet and loving. She was a wife, a mother to 5 boys and many grand kids and great grand kids. It was so hard to hear she died the day before we were going to see her again. We went the weekend before and my sister and her kids were flying in the next week to see her but they didn't make it in time before she passed.   This tattoo is for h...

Ok update for you all who are following my path right now. So I seen the behavior therapist today and she wants to see me at least one more time before she writes a letter to Molina saying that I don't need 6-12 meetings with her so I see her again on the 25th so I am pretty happy but she still wants me to go to group meeting for depression/anxiety anxiety but I can't take little man so I told her i tired to go to one at 2pm but they won't let little man in and the 5pm one I can't go to since I will have all 4 kids and hubby doesn't get home til 5:30/6pm.

Not much has changed I need to set up at least 6 more visits with my nut, I need to do 12 visits with behavior health before we can submit to Molina. It looks like I won't get done until May. I am pretty sure I won't get this surgery at all. I have gained back the 7lbs I lost like I always do. I am at a point where I feel like it will never get done and I will never get it. I just hit a point where I feel in my heart and guy that this won't happen for me. But I will keep you guys posted.

On Friday I finally hit my goal weight for insurance and they told me sometime this week I should get a call to set up a date for surgery and then set up an appointment for pre op and that's when I will get my binder yay so happy but over the weekend I went crazy and now I need to 4lbs again.

Ok I know it's been 3 months but I have had been super busy with a ton of appointments. So far I have had 6 visits with the dietitian where we do weight checks and we have talked about what will happen after surgery. How I will eat and what I will need to take and eat. On the plus side if I can get my weight down by this Monday we can submit to insurance so I am so happy about that. I have had 7 or 8 visits with PT, I have had my pshyci eval done and that was super easy and he has have me approval, and I have had 3 weigh in's with my pcp. Once we submit to insurance it could take up to a month before we know of I got approved or not and then if I do get approved we can set a date for the surgery.
