hoping to be healthy

my story starts last year(2006) when i came back from vacation in the mountains and had gottin a terrible case of the flu. i went to the drs. office and of course got the usual reponse from them that it is just a virus and you will just have to suffer through it. well i waited and wasnt showing any signs of improvement so i went back and then was recommended that i see a sleep specialist after i got over the flu so i did that and of course after taking the sleep study i got my results and wouldnt you know he had only seen two cases that were worse than mine. then he put me on the cpap machine that has just been a life saver to me. i never knew how tired i really was not to mention that i now have dreams in my sleep. sometimes it feels like a soap opera is going on in my dreams when i wake up. it feels good to go to sleep and stay sleeping. anyway my dr. also suggested to me to consider wls and that is how my journey started. on november 17th, 2006 i went to the wls informational meeting and then started with getting my insurance approval from that time on. november 18th 2006 i smoked my last cigerette after twenty some years of smoking and havent touched one since. then i started going to the dietician and got my physcological evaluation done and did my three visits to the surgeons office. now i9 am just waiting for insurance approval and spending lots of time on oh q&a board.
