My Weight Loss Journey


My poor, poor baby!!!
on August 25, 2008 9:44 am
OK...so today I have decided to post on here the RIGHT way!  Figured it would be easier if anyone actually keeps up with what I write...they wont have to figure out where I'm at like if I was adding it all to the "my story" part!

Anyway, I took my sweet baby today to get neutered this morning!  I'm a wreck!  I've only had him for ONE of his SIX years and I wish now that I hadnt waited so long to do this!  He'll also be staying at the Vet until Friday because I'm going out of town today for work and wont be back until then!  So, please send up a little prayer for my baby today!!  We BOTH have a little seperation anxiety!  haha!  His is a little worse than mine though!



Here is what I posted previously if anyone's interested.....

WOW!  My surgery is scheduled for Sept 18, 2008 and I'm SOOO excited! I met with Dr Williams on July 28 and I was VERY impressed!! He and his staff seem wonderful, informative, and very nice!  My insurance approved me in a matter of days! Jackie (I know this is not how she spells her name...but it's how it's said...when I remember the correct spelling I will correct it!) called me about 30 minutes after I left from the consultation to inform me that my insurance had already approved me!! YAY!!  I was sooo excited!
Now, the weird part!  My problem is not with the insurance...but rather with my employer! I notified my supervisor that my surgery date was scheduled for Sept 11...told her what days I would need to be off work and such.  She said that the surgery is something I want...rather than something I need and the asked me to reschedule because we already had people scheduled to be off during the time I requested!  She asked me to reschedule for the following week....which I did!  I then told her the new days...and she says "We'll see!"  WHAT??  First of all, I dont broadcast my health problems at work because, honestly, I'm a little embarrassed about them!  I'm only 26 years old and I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol (both of which I am on medication for) along with sleep apnea.  So, I informed her that this is not about vanity! It's about my health....my future!  She apologized and said that we'll talk about it Sunday night when we are at work and she can look at things.
I dont want Dr Williams and/or his staff to get irritated with me if I have to change my surgery date AGAIN! I dont want to change it again!  I'm ready to start my new life!  I'm ready to be healthy!  I'm excited....but right now a little angry (with my employer) too!

I will try to stay current with this and hope that after I have my surgery I can be an inspiration to someone else going through this!

This has been a week of mixed emotions!  I had to reschedule my appointment again.  My surgery is now scheduled for Sept 29, 2008 and I have already been approved for the time off work!  Great!  I'm really, really excited!

On Monday, August 4, my friend and co-worker passed away at the age of 43.  She was overweight just like me...had been sick for a few days (diaherra and vomiting)...and after she got home from the doctor that day...she had a heart attack.  I still cant believe it.  I will be attending her funeral in a few hours...and I guess I still havent REALLY accepted that she's gone. 
Her passing has made me even more determined to have this surgery and be a success!  She and I both were talking about it a year or so ago.  I had to wait to change my insurance because the carrier I had at that time didnt cover WLS.....and I think her mother and her boyfriend at the time talked her out of having the surgery.  I really wish now that she had had her mind made up about it and ignored what other people said...maybe she would still be with us today. 

~God Bless~
