 I had my pre dietician appt it went very well he was very very nice. Rick also explained to me about the surgery and the 2 surgeries that kaiser does. He also told me that I would probably go to Kaiser in Richmond which is alot closer to me. He also mentioned to me too that Dr Baggs in Richmond was a WONDERFUL Dr I hope I get him lol more to come....

 I saw my Dr today because my leg is swollen my right knee. My Dr said that my knees are dying *upset* I have like a 5 inch ring of fluid around my knee. He also added Ultram to my LONG list of pain medication so I can make it. I LOVE MY DOCTOR!! He said" Carol I want to make you better." I took an x-ray today so he can look further at my knee. He also said he hopes they let me have my surgery soon.

I am now taking Percocete, Ultram, High blood pressure pills, Vit D (he says it's good for excessive pain) and Naprosyn wheww that was a long list.

 I had an appt with my Doctor love him to pieces. I haven't seen him in over a year because he moved to Alameda and I live in Oakland. I seen a horrible doctor after he left and I went BACK to him!

I was in so much pain and he look at my knees and then told me that I had HIGH BLOOD pressure for a YEAR!!! Dr Shun then asked me if Dr Shute ever told me! *gasp* I was really pissed off then and was so glad to see him that I burtsed into tears. I asked him could I have WLS because I gained back the 55 pounds that I lost and then some. He said" carol I think that would be a great idea and let's get you something for your high blood pressure too"

Dr Shun sent off the 2 referrals that I need to get pre-approved. I needed to have a Nutrition consult and then a Psych eval. That's what Kaiser needed BEFORE they would approve or deny my request to have surgery. Well they psych dept called me back that day and said when I get a call from the Nutrition dept to all them back so they could make my appt for a psych eval. The Nutrition Dept called me 2 hours later for my appt on May 3rd and then I called the psych dept for my psych evaluation which was on June 6th gawdddd that's so far away!

I am ready to get this under control. I know it's not a quick fix but I have to take make a change to getting  healthy and pain free. I want to wear boots and be able to cross my legs and walk up the stairs without being OUT OF breath. This are the little things that we take for granted. Thank You for reading this lil part of me :-)
