I know I’m THREE days late with this one. Not to mention not posting for nearly a week! So much has been going on! So let’s get right into it!
A. I’ve been outed! Blogwise, that is. It seems that months ago I put the link to this blog in my yahoo profile. Who knows why? But, I hadn’t noticed it and then the other night a new fella to the Honeywine Dating Game, Mr. Eveready (I hope you like the name…it was that or Mr. Mertz 😉 ) started talking about the blog. Good news is that he was curious enough to come over here and read up on me. Unfortunately, I’ve been on the DL with the blog. M. used to read it to know what was going on in my life (because…ya know…living in the same house and sleeping in the same bed, how could he possibly know how I felt or what I was doing?). Once the separation began, I decided that I didn’t want any man in my life to have access to the blog, and at one point, I even thought if I ever got married again I wouldn’t even let that poor fellow know about the blog. So, yeah…that link will be taken down ASAP!
B. I jumped the first hurdle toward my new perky boobs like freakin’ Flo Jo!!!
Late on Friday, I had my first doctor’s appointment with my new primary physician Dr. MM. I’ve heard some stories about people spending months documenting their need for reconstructive plastic surgery post-gastric bypass, and still being denied. Dr. MM spent all of 10 seconds talking to me and said, “Let’s get you a referral!” I am so in love with Dr. MM for her “you need it, let’s do it” attitude. The reason I chose her for my primary instead of my former primary, aka Creepy Doc, at the same practice was because many years ago when she first began practicing there I saw her for an ear infection when Creepy Doc was on vacation and her words still echo through my mind: Why be in pain if you don’t have to? It has taught me so much about the “Me Generation” attitude about self gratification and made me question so many things about myself like ‘Why would you WANT to be in pain, ya nutcase?’ In a nutshell, self-gratification is good. Lol
C. As far as dating in concerned (cover your ears Mr. Eveready), Gig and I are still talking and have been trying to find a date to meet; he lives 2 hours away and that and both of us having jobs and family obligations is making it difficult. Dull boy passed up a date Saturday night, but in a very backhanded way; he had a party to go to and I think he was hoping I’d volunteer to go and I didn’t. I do have a date for lunch on Friday with a local Sheriff’s deputy and this makes me nervous since I used to avoid dating local guys because you never know who knows who and who they’ve already dated; it can be weird when you live in a small area. This brings me to Mr. Eveready, as it turns out we have a mutual friend, but I’m still going to give him a chance and yes, there may be a date in his future. He just has to jump the same hurdles that the other guys already have such as moving from talking online to talking on the phone. 🙂
I would write more but I’m half an hour late already! I hope I can catch up to ya’ll this evening!
Do you have military insurance? I know my sister told me that theirs won’t cover plastic surgery if you lose weight through a bariatric procedure, only if you lose the weight “on your own”. I know it makes no sense to me but whatever. I don’t have that insurance so it doesn’t affect me. I was just curious about your coverage.
I’m glad self gratification is good 😉
Glad to hear you’ve got a doctor that doesn’t do the old lets wait and see line. I mean really sometimes they drag shit out just to be mean. I’m all for the let’s not be in pain approach. Good luck with everything.
I’m glad your doctor is going to get you on the fast track for the surgery. I was wondering where you’d been lately!
I’m always terrified of people I know IRL finding my blog. Scares me…EEK!!! Good luck with all your mens! I’m glad your having a good time.
Enjoy your day!
-D
LOL! guess you have to be careful about where you list your blog if you don’t want everyone to know about it! 🙂 I made the mistake of doing a creative commons license with my real name on it… of course now if you google me (even though I took it off a long time ago) you can still find my Poopie Patrol blog! Which I purposely didn’t want associated with my name 🙂 Not that I have kept it anonymous, but don’t want potential employers or something finding it 🙂

Well, it’s about damn time, missy!
the thing I really want done after my GB are my arms. But I have seen such horrible nasty scarring with the body lift that I am scared. Good luck!
So glad you found a good doc. It’s really hard these days. Now I’m freaking out about that creative commons thing Kmommy just said. I’ve got to go google me…
my wife has never gone to my blog, except one time for a minute or 2.. she has zero interest in it..
Well, things are certainly getting exciting over here aren’t they? You must be feeling good, getting all this attention. 🙂 Good for you! Enjoy it and don’t break all their hearts, okay?
Heather- Yes, it’s military; I have Tricare Reserve Select. I know several people in the military system who have had post-gastric bypass cosmetic surgery. My Tricare rep confirmed that I’m covered for it. The trick is that it has to be “reconstructive” surgery (never say cosmetic or plastic), and your primary has to approve it which usually means you have to be having trouble with it. I’ve even heard of people causing rashes in the extra skin folds to get the surgery. Heck, I’ve heard of some in the military getting new boobs as “reconstructive” surgery post-breast feeding!
Ron- lol Self-gratification will keep a gal from snapping necks some days! 😉 Doctors are total pains in the butt most of the time and usually for no good reason.
ETW- Ho-ing and running! lol I’ve got a post or 2 in my head now, but I’d rather try to catch up with ya’ll! 🙂
Danielle- I FREAKED! lol I took that sucker down ASAP!
Kmommy- I just don’t like my men finding it! lol I don’t need them comparing notes! 😀 Not that I’m running game on them. I just don’t want them to think they aren’t getting all of my attention. I know I don’t like being just a number.
Ginger- Damned blond leprechauns! 😀
Karen- Have you had the body lift? I know it’s going to be rough, but I’m just going to grit my teeth. Dr MM thinks they’ll even do my arms! YAY! I hate them the way they are now. There’s a good 6 inch drop that can be removed. Icky. If the scarring is too bad, I’m seriously considering tattoos! They won’t cover the scar, but they’ll sure enough distract the viewer! lol
Lola- I would and fast!
Slyde- I think the only time M. looks now is when his latest ho drops him and he starts wondering if he has another shot with me.
Teeni- lol It’s definitely getting crazy and the next few weeks don’t look like they’ll slow down either. 😦 I do like the male attention. But, I know with online dating there is actually more than a few liars and cheaters. So, I keep myself in check and make them jump those hurdles. Dang, if it ain’t time consuming though! lol
surgery?
Just getting caught up on your blog since I arrived to England. Glad things seem to working out better for you. Congrats on approval for the referral. I know sometimes when dealing with docs it is easier said than done to get a referral.
