ok so i get to the hospital at 5:22 am to beat the time of 5:30 am... i immediately report to the the admitting department as instructed where I'm giving a armband and paperwork...fifteen minutes later someone was calling my name to take me to the seven floor recovery/pacu area where i waited about another twenty minutes...then my name was called they took me in the back area where we first weigh in at the time my weight  was 286.2. I was so amped up about my loss that my anxiety went out the window. We finally made it to my recovery bed and the nurse introduced herself and said "The anesthesia will be to see you in a minute." Anesthesia shows up just like she said and tried repeatedly to put a iv in but couldn't so he says mama we going have to put a Central line in your neck... I say to myself damn ive seen them put in but never thought i have one so soon.i consented for the iv and tell the nurse after they finish please send my mom and sister in. After the procedure they sent my family back, My nurse came back to me and said my doctor was  running late... he finally showed up thirty minutes later and i said my goodbyes to my family and they wheeled me back...i woke up in my room with my family surrounding me... 

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm freaking out big time...Ive clean up the whole house,vacuum the carpet twice and when for a walk that help a little until i got home again...These past two weeks have a bit challenging but I love a challenge...i would say i'm ready to start my journey of changing me but its already started...so ill say Im ready for a healthier me

This has been a long process but its finally here I GOT APPROVED TODAY SURGERY APRIL 17...YAY!!!!

So yesterday, I went to see Dr. O'bryan  for the psych. evaluation which went very well, but I was sweating bullets. The computerized test told the truth and there was no way I could deny the results.  I was so shocked while he reading the results it basically stated how I  looked at my relationships with others and myself . He told me everything looked okay there was no reason for him to not recommend me for the lap band. I'm so excited.

 Ok yesterday I decided to fill out my pysch. evaluation packet at the metabolic center and I knew about the first 300 and something questions but I wasn't prepared for the extra 400 questions that went along with it so it took me about two hours and forty-five minutes to fill out all the information so Dr. Obryan's office can make an appointment to see me. I forgot to add that I got to the surgery center around 3:30pm they closed up on me at 5:00 so I had to return again today. I can't wait to get this evaluation over with. I'm sure they are going to require another sleep study which I've already had recently so I'm going to try to fight. I hate sleep studies.  

I received a call from Tina Dr. Spaw's Insurance Specialist, who called to check on me to see how things are going with start process.(to see how far i've gotten with pysch consult, doctor's letter, schedule weight loss progam, etc....) I told her that she should already gotten a approval letter from my doctor and I need to do my pysh consut and weight loss program. She also inform me to schedule myself for the weight loss program because at first she said they would take care of all the arrangement for the program. So, now i need to call Sandy Moody the weight loss care coordinator.
