Thank god for answered prayers

Mar 06, 2009

I had my scopes today it went really well other than them blowing 4 veins trying to put the IV in. I was totally awake for the tests and it was kind of cool to see how things work LOL and yes it was squeaky clean in there so nothing gross!!! Anyways lol To my utter amazement the doctor said that she didn't see anything that looked like it even resembled ulcerative colitis or cancer and that as far as she could tell i was healthy in there!!!! So I am happy to say that I am going to be getting back on track for the WLS and I am ready for this journey to continue!!!! Thank you all for your loving support and words of kindness when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

not sure how to deal

Mar 02, 2009

Ok as most of you know I have to go Friday March 6th for an endoscopy and colonoscopy I found out last week that I have Ulcerative Colitis( An inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine, or colon, and is characterized by ulcerations in some portion (right, left, segments or entirety) usually leading to bloody diarrhea and often with complications in other parts of the body) anyways Friday they want to look for cancer/polyps or anything else. Today against my better judgement I called Dr. Glass and told them what was going on they said that he would call me back once he decided what to do about the situation. Well I got the call (from the nurse) that Dr. Glass will NOT do the surgery on me if I have ulcerative Colitis but that I could always try the cities at the University Hospital.  Then after me getting upset and asking 3 times what if it is controled by medicine would he concider and all she said is we will see I am so sad that I have invested so much time in trying to find the "right" doctor for me for him to treat me like i don't matter. He could have given 5 minutes to speak with me instead he sent the nurse and wanted me to cancel my appointment with Kristin. THAT IS NOT HAPPENING!!! I am trying SO SO hard to get healthy and change my life for WHAt? To be told that my OWN body if fighting against me HOW is that fair? What did I do to deserve this?? What have I done that was so bad that I deserve to be sick or that I do deserve to have the bypass and be healthy? How am I supposed to be positive when all this negativity is surrounding me???After trying for 4+yrs for the surgery that I feel like it is never going to happen it feels like the cards are stacked against me and I can't win!!!

I just feel so beat down right now!!!I want control back I want to decide what is going to happen I want to have my body back to myself!!!

Thanks for letting me vent I am sorry I am so angry and negative i am just tired!!!

I Am On My Way!!!!

Feb 20, 2009

This has been a good week, I met Brad (psych) and did the greuling 567 question test thingy, I like him he seems very nice easy to talk to. I am glad I chose him!!! I started exercising this week cardio and weights (I JUST WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO WORKOUT WITH ) it is so boring working out alone!!! Anyways I also had the group visit with Kristin and I am now trying to adjust to the new eating routine (NOT EASY!!!) It will take some time to get used to it but i will!!! I also found out that i may not have to do the 3 month supervised diet due to being on a diabetic diet for 4 yrs with gestational diabetes. She said that my insurance doesn't care why you were on a supervised diet just that you were. COOL HUH. I am excited that means that when i go see her next month i may be done!!! just about the date and approval, I am SOOOOOOO STOKED!!!! I hope you all are ding well this week I can't wait for the next coffee gathering!!!

I am going to start working out in the gym this week I want to try to lose like 45 lbs b4 my surgery. I guess all I can do is try!!!  I would like to find people that live in the St cloud area or close so I can have a work out buddy I have a gym in my complex that is open from 7 am to 11 or 12pm I would love to have some pre or post op work out buddies that would like the use of a free gym and pool in the summer. I don't know to anyone in my area so all that can are welcome.
