I had another nutritionist appt today. I have gained 2 lbs! This was the last class before surgery. I won't see her again unless I have to . Or the doc says I need to. She told us about what will happen while in the hosp right after surgery and about the different diet phases before and after surgery. I still have three Dr.s appts once a month for the next three months. My last appt is on Aug 6th. I hope I will have a surgery date soon after that.  They are having trouble finding medical records for me for the year 2005. Apparently I didn't go to the Dr that year. At least not that I can remember. I hope everything goes OK with the insurance co. They are supposed to have a weight history for the past 5 years. The insurance lady at the Dr said she would just try and send in the info with out it. I hope it works.

I went to get my sleep study results today. I'm going to have to wear a CPAP and try to not sleep on my back. Yeah Right! I'll try I guess. I have to wear the CPAP successfully for at least a month before the doc will do the surgery. Wish me luck. Any suggestions, I'm all ears...

I have my psych appt on Mon. I hope everything goes well with that. I'm not sure exactly what they are looking for. Maybe they won't realize I'm too crazy...lol.

I' gonna try and go to a support group meeting this week. I might get some good info there. I hope so anyway.

Well, I went back to the sleep center today and did another study wearing the CPAP. They said  have sleep apnea and will have to wear it when I sleep. I stop breathing 12 times an hr and 20 times an hr while in REM sleep. I had a really hard time going to sleep with the CPAP. I hope I will be able to wear it. My surgeon requires that I wear it successfully for a month before the surgery. I had my surgeon appt this past Mon. I did better than I thought. I lost the extra weight I had gained, although I didn't lose any extra. Oh well maybe next time. I hope anyway. I had to go yesterday and have a lipid panel and a glucose tolerance test. I wont get those results until next week. I also have a stress test scheduled on the 26th. I'm being tested to death..lol. I'm not going to complain though. I'm just glad to be in the process.

Dr appt

I have a Dr appt on Monday and I need to shed the 7 lbs I've gained since my last appt. I know the Dr will be disappointed. I'm disappointed in myself. It is just so hard now to lose and SOOOO easy to gain. It's very frustrating. I'm gonna try this weekend to lose a little. I can lose quite a bit in a short amount of time if I can just get motivated and put my mind to it. Pray for me. I just hope the Dr understands. I guess he probably should. That why I'm there to start with. I have an appt at the sleep study center on Tues. I might have to go back and do the study again wearing the CPAP.
