I wrote a really funny blog and then I closed the app!

Use your imagination as this was a bad idea!

Is it time to throw in the towel?

This process is taking forever!  If I'm being honest, I'm not even sure I'm ready to take the plunge.  There is no turning back for me, but damn, what am I about to do?   

Paperwork was submitted to the insurance company over 3 weeks ago.  I should have heard back from Penn a week or so ago.  I called and left 3 voicemails to the admin who handles my scheduling and no returned phone calls. So, I called the head of the bariatric program who called me back.  Seems there are 5 patients waiting for the business department at Penn to get final wording from insurance companies.  My case has been on the books the longest with no response.  I certainly hope I hear something soon because I am desperate for motivation.

Food has been winning lately.  I've been on a junk food binge and enjoying it for the ten minutes it's going in my mouth.  My body is regretting every morsel.  I'm gaining weight.  My ankles are swollen. My face has adorned another chin.  I have no energy to do anything. I should walk.  Really. I should! But I don't. I'm typing when I should be walking.  Instead I go to bed early just so I can lay in bed and sleep so the next day becomes closer to a surgery date.  Yet, each day seems further and further away!

Plus side: ate the best cheesesteak of my life from Revolution House in Old City!(wait till after summer it get it to go cause the AC in the place sucks!)
