Can't wait for July to end....

Jul 14, 2009

Okay, I know its Summer and that the cold weather will be here soon, but July can't go by fast enough for me.  Sure watching the Circus Parade was a blast, Fourth of July was wonderful, BUT  I want July to end so I can go to my last appointment with Dr Regan.   I want to be on my way to a smaller, healthier me.  So all of you out there pray for me.....

I've meet evil and its name is Coca-Cola.....

Jun 26, 2009

Saint....yeah that's so not me.   I've been working very hard to stick to my dietary changes(this is not a diet, this me eating for the rest of my life). So my drink of choice went from a fully loaded Coke to water, all my firends were very very surpised. Some didn't realize I've stopped drinking sodas, so when I was visting a friend, she brought me a cup(and no I couldn't see through it) of Coke.  I took a sip and thought that I was going to die, but being the polite guest, I drank it.  Later that night, while I was living on the toilet, I swore that I would never do that to myself ever again. So good bye Coke, hello water.....

Breaking Bad Habits.....

Jun 17, 2009

I'm a limited patience person. I've got patience for my crafts and that's where it ends.  I'm now down to my last 2 visits to Dr Regan and I'm getting antsy. I just want to have the surgery and be done.   I've given up so much of my bad habits, used to drink enough soda and caffeinated stuff to refill Lake Michigan and don't eat all the crazy stuff I used to.  It's the waiting that's getting to me.  Come on, August.....

Things are moving!!!

May 09, 2009

I met with Dr Regan on March 10th, 2009 which also is my little sister Trina's birthday.  My insurance(finally) covers the procedure!!!!!  Kicker is I have to wait 6 months,  but this has given me time to eliminate some bad habits slowly instead of cold turkey.  So I said good bye to Coke, caffeine and I'm working eliminating chocolate and snaking and working more exercise in.  I've just have to remain motivated and remember the goal in site.

A New Year.....maybe a new me

Feb 08, 2009

Last year was hell.  Never trust a 3rd party call center person in India for correct information.  My employer, who remains nameless,  uses a 3rd party contractor to answer questions about insurance when open enrollment.  This past October, I asked for the new Insurance Carrier's number and contracted them myself!  Moral of the story, if you want something done do it yourself.  With the new insurance, the procedure is covered BUT I have to get my primary care to do a preauthorization.  I really need to get this moving because my endometrosis has decided to come back and I tried doing Lupron.  Bad mistake, it made me very irritable and actually made things worse.  Plus I would like my knees to stop hurting.

Going from stalled to go

Jan 19, 2008

IWell, I finally have gotten some good news.  Since the new year, I've got a new insuratnce plan that will cover the surgery.   Thank god!  

My biggest sticking point was my primary care doctor, and when I saw him on Friday, he finally gave me his support!  

Will be making the call to go in for the consult on Monday.
