Getting the Ball Rolling - Sacramento, CA

SO I just scheduled my first consultation for a gastric bypass for the 5th of February. I've wanted to get this procedure for quite some time but couldn't find a doctor. Maybe i just wasent looking in the right places? But this past September I attended an informational meeting and Mercy San Juan in Sacramento and found a Dr.:) I had to wait to get new health insurance but now I'm ready to move forwards with the whole thing. I've set some pretty realistic goals for myself during this transition. After surgery I want to loose 22 lbs per month. i'd like to loose more but realistically i think starting with a manageable goal is important. If I can maintain that rate of lose I caould be at my goal weight 1 year post opp. with a total loss of 264 pounds which is a very exciting thought.

So i thought I should tell everyone a little about myself and why I've decided to go through with WLS.
Im a 26 year old grad- student here in Sacramento working on my Masters in educational counseling and my Peer/Pupil Service credential. I should be graduating in the Fall. I have a 3 year old daughter and my boyfriend and I have been dating for the past 10 years. I am 5'6" or so and 431lbs last time i weighed my self. my goal it to loose 264lbs following my surgery and I have a goal weight of 170 lbs give or take a little. My goal is to be curvy but not fat. i really done want to be thin and the lowest weight i think i'll be happy at is 150 lbs. I've been heavy since middle school and obese since about my jr year of high school. I have tried so many diets i have lost count. Many of them worked for a time but i always seemed to stop loosing and start gaining the weight back even while i was still following the program. I use to bike every where! honestly i loved biking. I also love to cook and am a total foodie. I LOVE the farmers market and healthy eating but the larger i've gotten the less i get out and the worse my food chooses have become. The final straw for me was when I got fired for my weight. Obviously my boss dident say that but i know it was major part of why she let me go. I was good at my job but i guess no one was willing to see past my weight. Secondly around the same time i stopped enjoying my relationship with my boyfriend. How sad is that! 26 and i dident like sex any more. that was a deal breaker for me i feel like i've always been fat but i was enjoying my life, now im not so it's time for a change! im looking forward to this whole process pain and all :) i started looking into body reconstruction once i scheduled my first bariatric consultation ( FEB 5th!) Dr. said it usually takes a month or so to get the surgery approved by insurance so hopefully i can have my surgery before my 27th birth day which seems like as good a time as any to make this change.

So to help make this surgery a possibility I signed up for Blue Cross using Covered CA, Just logged in to make my first payment and it said that my account had been canceled and was not available for reinstatement :( IDK what is happening. I havent received any letters saying that the account was cancelled or why. the Payment isent due for 12 days and now i am FREAKING OUT. has anyone else had this issue? any recommendations? Im callong Blue Cross in the morning but other wise i dont know what to do
