Almost there

Jan 26, 2010

January 26,2010

 Today I went back to my weight loss center for another follow up appointment. I lost 2.5 pounds. YAY me, but wished i could have lost more then that. They are sending out the letter to my insurance today, I am kinda excited about that. My surgery wont be until like March or April because I am getting the surgery done with my girlfriend but she has a hole somewhere on her body and it needs to be operated on because there is a infection on that after she has that we are going to go back for another appointment. All this stuff going on I kinda cant wait for the surgery. Is it bad to be excited to have the surgery? Well they told me today because I am having tonsils problem I need to drink protein shakes to get all my protein in.

Well thats all the update I got for now. I will keep you all posted.

Could Things Get Worse?

Oct 16, 2009

On October 14th,2009 I went back for another Pre-op appointment. I found out the results of my sleep study. Lets say I wasn't too impressed with the results. I found out I have Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea and that I need to go for another sleep study to see how much pressure I need on the CPAP. The only thing that sucks is I cant have it done until December 3,2009. Well other then that they want me to lose more weight and said I was on the right track. I lost 5 1/2 pounds since September 14,2009. November 20,2009 I have to get weighed in and go to some kind of behavior Modification class. After that they said in December I will see them again and if I am doing good I can then get set up with a date. OMG I so can NOT wait. is it weird to be excited for surgery. I cant wait for it to be my turn!!!

Thanks for listening.

Psych Eval Appointment

Jul 22, 2009

July 22,2009

 Today I had my psych Evaluation. I must say that I was kinda nervous because I didn't know what to expect. I had butterflies in my stomach. I feel like he asked me two million plus questions. Most of the questions was about my childhood. When I told him about my childhood I was told that it seemed like I had a tough childhood. Omg! did that ever scare me. I thought right then and there he was going to tell me I wasn't passed. Then we got to talking about food, did that ever make me hungry. Also asked me stuff about like what surgery I wanted, what foods you could eat after surgery, what are some of complications, what happens if you eat too much? After that he told me I was a good candidate for the surgery and that he would let my weight loss center know. Yay what a relief that was. My next appointment is July 27,2009 and that's for a bunch of testing and to see a dietician. See you all later.

This is the day I went for my first evaluation. I was sooo nervous because I didn't know what to expect. All I know was that it was going to be 1 hour long. OMG! yes 1 whole hour. It actually went pretty well. We talked about what kind of surgery I wanted and what I eat. How much excercise I do. What diets I tried, ect. Well my next appointment is for mental health and that is on July 22,2009. Then on July 27th,2009, I go for my bundle of appointment which is alot of testing, like EKG, chest xray, blood work, ultrasound on my liver(I dont have my gallbladder), dietician, and whatever else there is.
