3-14-07
Hey OH , well i had my pat's done today everything went well boy was i nervous this is how my day went i called Linda from Barix Clinic early in the morning to figure out what was going on about the sleep study test so she called me back because i left her a message, she said i would be fine so still come in so by my surprise i was elated very happy. I told her about my abortion and things like that so she told me to get my file from Princeton women center because i had to go there anyway , so i got up got dressed drove to princeton womens center i arrived about 9:04am got checked in then sat down then they called me to the back to do an ultrasound which they found no baby and my pregnancy test was negative i was so elated i was like oh yeah!!! so i then headed to the Barix Clinic on my journey So i Arrived at the Clinic about 10:15am my appt wasn't until 11:30am so that was good i was on time i met this nice lady there inquiring about the surgery so i talked to her for a lil bit got acquainted so then the famous ms linda came and greeted me she is the sweetest women in the world u could ever meet she told me after having surgery to hold my stomach in all day so she told me to remember "BELLY BUTTON TO THE SPINE"
cute right? thats what i thought i'm like what ? how am i suppose to do that without breathing she said u are gonna breathe so she made me keep my feet up and hold my stomach in so before all of that i had to take a urine test it came out negative hooray!! so thats how my pats started the care at barix clinic is phenominal everyone was so nice i mean nice to the point it was unreal but it was real, so from there i got weighed in which im so upset about im 288.2lbs so linda told me i have to lose 10lbs so prayerfully i'm gonna lose the weight, i also had blood work done, Xrays done, Ultrasounds done it was so much im still trying to recooperate from today, i also talked to the nutritionist ms rebecca she was nice to, a lil bit jittery but very nice. So pretty much i had a full day . but i give all the glory and praise to god, because none this would be possible without him. well everybody i will keep u posted may god bless us all. talk to u soon.
Night Before PAT's
Mar 13, 2007
Hey everyone its the night before my PAT'S im kinda nervous because linda from Barix Clinic left me a message at 4:00pm today which i didn't get the message until i got home at 6:30pm so by that time it was to late to call her back. But basically she called me to ask if i had taken tests for my ear, nose, & throat specialist because she needed the results but i didn't even go to no specialist for that so i hope that doesn't stop anything now im really nervous. I really want this surgery and im so close i pray that nothing will hold me back. Its funny because when i went to isn sleep center they told me i didn't need a c-pap so im like what the hell is Linda talking about so i will call her bright in early in the morning at 6:45am so please everybody pray for me okay i will post tomorrow on what happens. God Bless

well everyone i went to the sleep study last night in bensalem, i met the nice receptionist who helped me thru everything & then i met w/the technician and i felt kind of nervous being i was the only patient that was going to be staying overnight w/a male technician so he (anesh) the tech, assured me everything was okay so i ran out to subway because i hadn't ate since earlier that day so when i went to subway and got my sandwich u know how big gurls do u know having all the good but bad stuff on the sandwich, nah im joking, i did good not to bad i never eat chips but i got a ginger ale the order came up to $9.00 thats expensive but my big gurl gesture was a 12'' sandwich instead of the 6'' (greedy) i know lol, thats why it was so expensive and putting tuna fish and turkey on the sandwich so i go back to the sleep study anesh told me to eat, which i did & i watched the show gilmore girls which i truly love , anyway i went to go get him (the tech) so he came in i told him normally when i eat im sleepy so he started putting all those wires on me especially in my head that stuff is gushie but it did the job and then i went to sleep the only problem i had w/that was that thing that has to go under ur nose other than that i'm fine. so i got up took a shower, got dressed & drove 26 minutes home this morning so it went well overall i get my results next week on 2-8-07 so stay tuned for that and also i called julie the nice lady with the insurance dept at barix clinic so i faxed over my health history to her she received it so now i'm waiting for my pyschological evaluation to reach them so everything is under way i'm so estatic and happy and nervous all at the same time so i will talk to u later. god bless!!!
