Losing my mind
Oct 23, 2010
So seriously I feel like I am losing my mind on this whole wls stuff. Is it just me or does everyone feel like this at some point. One minute I am ready for the change and the next minute I am not sure if I am ready. Maybe its because I am undecided on which surgery I want or maybe its the thought of can I do this and not become a failure again. I started out wanting the lap band but quickly ruled that out. My Dr recommended the RNY and at first I was ok with it but now I think I want the DS after researching it. The only problem is my Dr. does not perform the DS so I heard. (I still have to ask because when i called they told me they do perform it) I also need to call my insurance company and ask them if they cover the DS too. Maybe I should have done that when I first thought about wanting the DS. There's so many things that I need to do but haven't yet and the time is ticking. I have my 2 of 3 appts with the Nut. next Wens. before they submit my request for the RNY to insurance company. But I really need to get on the ball and get the info I need before I make a decision that will affect the rest of my life.

Obsessed with OH
Sep 29, 2010
So its Wensday Sept. 29th 2010, and of coarse I'm sitting on OH. I think I have become obsessed with this site, I find myself on it as much as I can. I love reading the forums and what others have to say. I just wish I had a surgery date set. I'm getting anxious and its affecting my sleep already, cant imagine what will happen when I finally get a date. SO I am almost done with my checklist Dr. Lalor gave me. I did all my lab work and radiology studies (EKG, chest x-ray, upper GI, ultrasound) Sept. 21. My Psychological evaluation is Oct. 12, at 11:00 am. Then Oct. 13 I see the Dietician for my second appointment. There is a lil confusion on how long I see the dietician for when I called my insurance company they told me 6 months but when I went to my first appt. they said 3 so I'm really not sure which one it is. I'm keeping my fingers crossed its 3.=) Maybe then I can get a peaceful nights rest. 
PS..... Its been 3 weeks and 1 day with out a smoke!!
