Today was the day

Ok so today was the day I went to meet with the surgeon for the first time and I met with the dietitian, nurse, insurance specialist and finally the surgeon. They were all super nice and the dr said I am the perfect candidate for the sleeve surgery. He asked what my goal from this was and I told him that I would be happy to just finally be under 200 lbs, I don't care if the scale says 199.9 I'd be happy. He chuckled and said based off my numbers and age etc that his goal for me will be about 170 give or take a pound and that he sees no reason I wouldn't be able to get there!! I know it's hard work and going to still be a long road but for the first time in my life I feel like there's hope of me reaching a more normal size and weight. In talking with the insurance specialist I also found out that I will have no cost out of pocket because I've already met my out of pocket max for the year!!! This is such a miracle. They also said there should be no problem in making sure I get done this year and possibly in the next few months. I have no other words at the moment but just to say thank God for letting this fall into place!!
