Had another appointment today/Lost a high school friend..

Oct 21, 2011

So,I had my appt today for a physical and to discuss my blood test results. My cholesterol is high and I have high triglycerides!! Scary stuff!   I got a referral to have a sleep study done so that should be within the next week or so. Everything is coming along nicely. My surgeon's name is Dr. Patrick Coates and so far the ladies from his office have been nothing but nice to me!!  So,I will go on Nov 10th to the seminar,meet the surgeon,give them copies of my insurance card and schedule my first appt with the surgeon. In the mean time I will be working on getting my psychiatric eval. done so I am ahead of the game when I get to the seminar. I received a packet in the mail from Dr. Coates office today so I have to have that filled out and bring it when I go. I made copies of my lab work and all that jazz.

OAN: I came home from my appt today and logged into my facebook and saw that a friend of mine from high school had passed away. She was found in her home dead while her 1 yr old daughter was screaming in another room all by herself. Police are treating it as a suspicious death right now and I am completely heartbroken for her and her family!!!  My mind can't seem to be anywhere else but with her and wondering what on earth happened....Well that's all for now,*Muah OH*

Kinda sorta starting the process.. =)

Oct 13, 2011

OMGOSHHH!!!  My appointment to FINALLY go to a regular doctor instead of an OBGYN was supposed to be next week. HOWEVER,they called me today to come in for a fit-in appointment. YESSS I was so very excited!  

So I went in and was weighed. My home scale says 264,theirs said 265. :/ Then talked to the doctor about some skin issues I have been having and also about my anemia and then finally about my weight. We talked for about 15 minutes on the subject. The outcome of the appt as far as my weight goes is: I go for blood work tomorrow and then next week I go in for a full physical and to discuss the results of my blood work. The doctor plain and simply said that if my lab work comes back and I have even the beginning of any health issues relating to my weight,that he will go ahead and refer me to the surgeon for RNY(I want VSG though). If no health issues we will discuss something else?? Not sure what that means but I am just going to wait until my labs come back and then go from there. I still called the local bariatric surgeon,Patrick Coates,and set up a date for the seminar for the VSG which is required before the surgery-it's Nov.10Th and I cannot wait to gain more insight!!  

When I go back for the results and physical I am going to get an appointment for a sleep study done bc I think I may have sleep apnea,so I def wanna check that out. I love this website!!
