Well I went the the physical therapist yesterday and it went great.  She told me that as for my ability to excercise and the excercising that I am doing is great.  So now I have to wait until Aug. 30 to have my pysche eval.  After that meet with the nutritionist and excercise trainer for pre-op.  I am hoping for surgery  late September.  I am tired of waiting.  I am not use to waiting for anything.  When I want something normally I try really hard to get it.

I am beat.  I went to my sleep study last night and I was really tired.  I was falling asleep watching the olympic on T.V. waiting for the nurse to hook me up.    Well I got hooked up at 10:30pm and went to bed.  But I couldn't.  I kept tossing and turning, I couldn't get comfortable.  I kept thinking that someone is watching me.  Well the last time I looked at the clock it was 2am.  I think I slept for two hours.  She woke me up at 4 am to take me off the machine.  I got home at 4:45 and went straight to bed.  My husband said that in 2 minutes I was out like a light and the people in the next house could here me snore.  Good thing it was only for 30 minutes because I am at work right now.  I start at 6:30 am.  I think I am going to take a nap at lunch.

I just called the Psychologist and scheduled an appointment on Saturday 8/30/08.  I am so excited.  I am now looking at having my surgery late September.  I couldn't be happier.  O happy day.  I better go excercise I only have 6 weeks to lose 10 lbs. 

Aloha

Well lets start with the bad news.  The bad news is that the Psychologist is booked until Oct. 14 so I am stuck until Oct. 14.  I really can't do anything until then so I guess I just have to wait. 

The good news.  I am almost done with everything post-op.  I met with the dietian and physical trainer.  It was a seminar so you get to do it with everyone and it was fast and interesting.  It took about 3 hours.  I saw my PCP today and got my EKG there then went downstairs to do all the blood work and chest xray.  It was really fast.  They ordered my sleep study and that will be done next Friday I think.  I am not worried about it I have 2 long months to do it.

Well this experience is going to be a good one and I shouldn't rush it but I am a person like that.  When I want something I want it now.

Well I will comment back when I reach another milestone but I don't think it will be for awhile.

Aloha,

I can't believe it my surgeons office just called me and told me that they got approval from my insurance company.  I had my appointment Friday afternoon.  They submitted it to my insurance company this morning around 9 am I am guessing because that is the time they open and at 11:30 this morning I got the bestest call ever. 

I go in on Thursday to see the dietian.  I have to call my PCP to order the blood work and everything else.  If you could only see the  that is on my face right now.  I still can't believe how easy the insurance was.  Now I have to lose all that weight I had to put on to get approved.

So today I went for my first walk in a long time.  It was about 2 miles.  I walked at that beach park at my lunch hour.  I took 2 - 4lb weights with me.  I looked pretty stupid walking with the weight lifting them over my head.  I was thinking I better start toning my arms now so that I won't get bat wings.  When I got to the end of the park there is a picnic area.  I went inside and did 50 lunges and 50 squats in increaments of 10.  I haven't been so motivated for a long time.  Even thou my surgeon said I don't have to shrink my liver believe me I will do anything for this operation to go easy.

Ok will check in on Friday after my orientation.
