Stress Test causing more stress!
on June 27, 2008 11:15 pm
Ok I go back for the results of my test expecting that they would say all is ok and to go ahead and do the rest of my test. Guess what??? Its not ok! They tell me that my stress test results stated that my heart wasn't working in the back as its suppose to. Which worried them because it was usually the front of the heart that usually always comes back not good in women. But because it is saying that I'm not getting good blood flow to the back of my heart...I have to have a HEART CATHER! WHAT?? If only you knew how scared I am....So I finally go and let them do the heart cath because it was worrying me not knowing what was going on. So they get me set up and the whole time I'm praying. Please God, let my heart be ok. They take me down to this ice cold room...to think I thought the room I was in was freezing...lol this room didn't even have a word for how cold it was in there. But for some reason I wasn't really paying attention to it when they got started. Here I am laying on the table scared to death and they started numbing it. It wasn't numb good enough when he started and it hurt like H-E double hockey sticks! They numb me up a little more and went ahead. I got some funny feelings while they was running the cath up in my vein, but nothing terrible. After looking for a few minutes, they pulled the cath out....the Dr. came over to my head and said...Good news! Perfect...nothing wrong! I felt pressure just lift off my shoulders. I cried and cried because God was watching over me and that everything was fine. So now....I have one more test to have done and they should be on a roll to help me get approve for the Lap Band Surgery. So, Wish me luck and keep me in mind. Hope all is Well and Good luck to the ones that are on the path of having WLS.

Change of plans....

Well I've decided to change my surgeon for the simple fact that We have a surgeon down here who does Lap band now ! I can't wait :) Don't get me wrong...I love Thomas Sonnanstine! Its just that I was so uncomfortable with the fact that something could go wrong and he's almost 4 hours away. And what if I needed a fill?? Gosh....As high as gas is now...I don't see how anybody could afford the gas plus paying for the fill out of pocket. So for those who wants to know who's doing my surgery, if it gets approved that is...will be Dr. Dana Edwards in Manchester, Ky. If you have any questions just holler! Hope all is well...

My Story

Hi,
    Here's my story.... I'm 23 years old, happily married and we have a 2 year old child together. I've been over weight my entire life and would LOVE to lose some weight so I can be a better Wife, Mother and Friend to my family. I've lost weight plenty of times, but like always....I gain more than I lost back. Then once again....I'm heart broken. So right now I'm praying that one day I can have the WLS and become the happy and energetic person I'm meant to be.
