I'm About To Lose It Logo

An obese 50 year old guy takes the plunge into RNY gastric bypass surgery.

I have 4 steps left to finish to get my RNY surgery:

  • Endoscopy – shouldn’t be any surprises there, but because I have acid reflux they require it. That is coming up in 4 days.
  • Psych Eval – I thought this was going to be a major hold up but they switched docs and this should be completed a week from today.
  • Lose 25 Pounds – I’m well on the way to this one. I’ve made several changes to eat much better (far from great, but better than I was) and I’ve lost over half of that already. I suspect that the 2 weeks before surgery when I make 2 major changes in food intake, the rest will come of. I hope to have 30-40 off by surgery.
  • Get A Loan – Our insurance sucks and is not covering ANYTHING. I could write a whole post on this but it is what it is.

I’ve been putting that last one off for fear of the bank saying “NO”…but today I was pre-approved for more than the amount by my credit union! One more step down! We’ve been saving some and I need to see exactly what we have saved to know what I will need exactly but that wont be a problem!

I told myself I wasn’t going to believe this would happen until I woke up from surgery, but I’m starting have a bit of belief in it all!

Step by step, we are getting closer to this being a reality!
