Cha...Cha...Cha...Changes Part Two

So last blog post I mentioned there were a few other changes underway. They are both official so now I can talk about them.

1. I was recently approved by my insurance company to have a Lap Band procedure and I had surgery this Thursday. For those of you not familiar with Lap Band it is a less invasive form of Gastric Bypass or weight loss surgery. My body will only be able to tolerate a small amount of food. I will be able to eat normal things just in smaller portions. The weight loss is gradual, about 1-2 pounds a week. I am really happy about the decision. I am feeling pretty good post surgery. I had to do a 2 week liquid diet pre-surgery and lost 18lbs doing that which has been a great kick start. I am sure I will post about my progress in the future.

2.I was promoted to Senior Advisor at work. Not too much of a change there. Still working in the same place, I will just have some more administrative and supervisory duties.

Those are my two big pieces of news. Other then that just some fun typical NYC things going on.
-Luke stayed in town last weekend and we had a great walk through Central and Riverside Parks before going to see Inception.

-Esther and I accompanied Michael to Amherst, MA for a day. Michael was in a board meeting while Esther and I went to Emily Dickinson's house and the Eric Carl museum.

-Sarah came in this weekend to hang out with me post surgery. I was feeling up for getting student rush seats (apparently I can still pass for being a student) for South Pacific. It was amazing and $20.00 seats were pretty exciting too!
