Well friday I had my sleep study. Thankfully sleep wasn't as big of an issue as I thought it may have been. I slept so good that night actually! The next morning the nurse informed me that I definately have Apnea so I am scheduled to meet with my sleep dr and get fitted for a mask to prepare for my next sleep study. i am not looking forward to sleeping on the machine but we do what we need to in order to survive.

On a better note, I met with my future surgeon at a seminar tonight and found out everything I needed to. Friday I have a computerized psychological study and tomorrow I need to call and schedule the actual meeting with a psychologist. I don't think tricare is going to be quite as difficult as I once thought but with my luck they will prove me wrong. Well thats all I know for now, will update as soon as I know more.

Over Anxious!
on April 2, 2007 10:21 pm

It's 1:21am and sleep doesn't seem like much of an option. The night of the 4th is my sleep study and I'm over anxious I suppose. I don't do well sleeping in unfamiliar places and my Dr couldn't proscribe me anything to help me sleep because of my liver problem. Therefore I have to become sleep deprived for the next 2 days and avoid caffine so I can fall into a coma at the center. YAY! NOT! Can't complain too much tho since this is what I really want.

My Story

For as long as I can remember I have always struggled with my weight but I guess it really started when I was about 13. I remember over one summer I gained around 30 lbs. By the time I was 16, I was over 200lbs and miserable. I have invested so much time and money over the past 10 years in weightloss books, pills and equipment trying to get the weight off and keep it off. The year I turned 21 was when I realized how great diet pills could be and lost from about 200 lbs down to about 160 in a matter of 4 months maybe, taking Xenodine. After that I was hooked and had to be because when I would stopped taking them I gained the 40 lbs back plus 20 in less time then it took me to lose the weight. By the time I was 22, I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure so over the counter diet pills were no longer an option since they only made my BP worse. I had gotten married to my first husband when I was 20 and by the time I was 23 we had decided we were ready to start a family. Having had no luck on our own I sought infertility only to be diagnosed with PCOS and the wonderful Dr who diagnosed me sent me home with the suggestion to research it on my own to better understand the disorder or disease. (Even today I'm not sure which it would classify as) In 2005, 2 months after my 24th birthday I was referred to Gastro at Portsmouth because of unexplainable elevated LFTS. After many tests and finally a biopsy I was diagnosed with NASH (NonAlcoholic SteatoHepatitis) and the biopsy showed fibrosis already started in my liver. I recently switched to Tricare Standard and found an awesome Dr who is finally taking my health seriously. Hopefully things go smooth and I get my approval for surgery.
