Well, I'd like to say that it is just because I am busy that I haven't written, but that would not be entirely truthful. Actually, I also forgot my login info. and the auto complete went away for some reason.
August was a busy month. The summer semester at Auburn wound to a close, and the week of the 21-25 we were on campus for the beginning of the fall semester. I love Auburn University and like the town, but it has been the pits trying to get back into things at work this go around - yuck!
I went to a seminar on bariatric surgery at Centennial Medical Center on August 29th. I have decided to try for lap band surgery through my insurance. It may be a huge fight, and it may just mean jumping through some hoops. It is covered though, so count on me to fight for it. It won't mean a magic cure for weight loss, but that combined with diet and exercise usually yields great results. Wish me luck!
My friend Jennifer just received approval for cochlear implant surgery - hooray! She is having it soon and would appreciate any prayers that could be sent her way. I know her surgery is very different from the one I want, but she has inspired me to give it a go.
Anyway... my house is a wreck and needs some attention. I am going to try and get some things done tonight so later!

Thanks for the support and the prayers. If you want the lap band surgery, I am behind you 100%. One of my best friends has had it done, with good results. Anne & Maurice have also had it done...Anne is positively svelte, and Maurice has lost about 80 pounds, I think he said. YOU GO GIRL! Keep me updated...I am excited for you!
Thanks. I talked with Maurice, and he told me about their great results! One of my friends had the gastric bypass for health reasons and another co-worker had the lapband. We will see!
Your pictures of post-cochlear implant look great! Congratulations.
