Scheduled my surgery!!!
on November 23, 2010 10:39 pm
Okay so I had all my lab testing yesterday execpt for the EGD which is going to be Monday Nov. 29th. It was a really long day yesterday!!! I went in and got my picture taken a couple times then met with the dietitian and got a bunch of samples and some questions answered then i met with my surgeon and he explained my procedure and answered some questions. Then I went on to get my surgery scheduled and of course I had issues cause the only day before Christmas I could get it done is the day of my last final ...so needless to say I e-mailed my teacher and asked if I could take my test early...still havent heard back from her. Anyway, I got my surgery scheduled for Dec. 15th. Then I went on to all the lab testing: had a gallbladder ultrasound then went to the lab and got blood taken and gave a urine sample, then went back to radiology and had my heart ultrasound by a really hot rad tech. then waited a bit more and went to have a chest x-ray followed by an upper GI which was the worst of them all due to having to drink the carbonated crystles and barium yuck! After that I went to the basement and had an EKG and they gave me an insintive spirometer and had me try it out so they could instruct me on it. Most of the teaching bit was redundant since I know of it through nursing but they were all very nice and helpful...the hospital is pretty big so I got turned around a couple of times. Anyway all the tests went well and I got sent home with the Insintive spirometer and a bowel prep to do the day before my surgery and a million samples to try out so I know what kind of supplements and protein powder I want to buy. :) Of course I couldnt end my forever long day there and had to get some stuff done for school that I was meeting with my group about today. So, I am a little less stressed today but still have a lot of things to do before I get a true break. My parents and grandmother are coming over tomorrow driving up 7 hours for Thanksgiving since I couldnt make it down there and I have another Dr. appointment at 1pm tomorrow to get the Implanon birth control implant and I HAVE to go get tickets for Harry Potter since I have been waiting since the 19th to see it ..(I promised my Mom I would wait for her to see it together). I hope everyone else is doing good I am so happy to be that much closer to getting my surgery! :)

Lab testing scheduled
on October 26, 2010 12:10 am
Okay so I got my lab testing scheduled for Nov. 22. They told me it would take around 6 hours to get it all done and I will also meet with my surgeon that day and the nutritionist. After I get approved by the surgeon for surgery I can schedule it. I have already been approved through my insurance and had my psych eval. So, now I am just anxiously awaiting these next few weeks to go by quickly. :)

My Story

Nursing student,  Army wife, Air Force brat, first generation American from my mothers side, little sister, there are a lot of tittles that I am but only one that makes me unhappy and that I have struggled with most of my life...fat. I am going to have RNY in Dec. ...(I would have it sooner ...but due to school I have to have it inbetween semesters)  I have done many different weight loss programs and diets and have lost a little weight but always gained it back. I am doing this because it is a tool that will allow me to have control of myself again and give me the means to be permanently successful. I want to be a good nurse and promote health to others ...its difficult to do that when you are not healthy yourself. I also want to have children and not have high risk pregnancies. So this is my means of getting healthy and maybe when I have lost the weight I will be able to have a child and not worry about diabetes. My husband is totally supportive he loves me as I am and just wants me to be healthy so he knows he will have more time with me. Maybe by graduation in May (five months after my surgery) I will be able to look back and see this year as not only a success for my school accomplishments but as the start of the rest of my life healthy and confident as I haven't been since about age 12. I want to find myself again the person that is lost in these layers that don't belong.
