I am very excited to say that I am currently waiting for a call from my doctor, Dr. Whipple, with my surgery date. I have been approved with my insurance for my surgery, I have my letter of medical necessity and my clearance for surgery all signed. I also had my appointment with the psychiatrist Dr. Whipple has us see before he will agree to perform the surgery. She told me she does not see why I should not have the surgery, because I'm mentally sound...enough, and that she will tell him that I should have it. The only things left to do is have an Upper GI to make sure there is nothing wrong with my stomach and get my results back from my H Pylori test. I have been working hard to get ready. Markus and I had our bikes fixed and we have been riding around like crazy. So far I can go 10 miles without hurting too badly. I love riding my bike. I make sure to ride it at least 3 miles everyday. Also, I am working out at the gym. I am very blessed to have such a great support team down here. There is my darling husband Markus who has NEVER judged me about my weight and is standing behind me 100%, my girlfriend and personal trainer Katie Simmons and her Husband Travis. I cant believe that I am so close. That is actually why I am still up, I am just so excited. I cant wait to start being able to live. Here are pictures of Katie before and after her Gastric Bypass. She truly is an inspiration.
