Well, it's been a while since I posted. Sorry about that. I've been working hard and I'm happy to say I am one month out from surgery today. I went to my pre-op orientation and appointment yesterday. It was a grueling day! I started at 12 pm and ended at 5:30 p.m. whew! Anyway, I'm all set. I've lost 65 pounds and my doctor was thrilled. He said he was pretty sure he'd be able to do my laparoscopically. I sure hope so!! My labs are done, my EKG is done, I've met with the surgeon (finally), and it's all a go. They said because of my sleep apnea not being completely controlled on BiPAP they are going to put me in ICU the first night, otherwise he said that I'm such a "go getter" he fully expects to see me up and out of the hospital in a minimum amount of time. ha! I sure hope so.

Woohoo!! I am so pumped!
The icing on the cake (pardon the pun) is that my husband is FINALLY on his way home from Iraq as we speak. I am so excited!
