HAPPY TO BE HERE

Sep 01, 2009

Hola, This is a fresh start for me.  I have been approved my insurance BCBS for lap-band surgery.  I am currently going to my appointments. Last night I had the sleep study, which it was not that bad, and I was told that I do not have sleep apnea.  I was so happy to hear that.  Today I had the Barium Swallow. I did not have a clue how bad that stuff taste.  I am looking forward to hear the results, as this provides information about several organs.

Went I went to the doctor they weigh me with my clothes and shoes on and the scale put me at 268.  I almost choked as I have never in my life thought that I could weight this much.

I am facing all my aprehensions and fears at this time.  This decision has been one that has taken over 5 yrs on the making and I have to say, that I have decided that the Lap-Band is the best decision I have ever made.

My husbands is a great supporter.  The same thing withthe people at work, but I do not want to share my news with my family at this time.  I know that they are not going to be supportive, and I know is going to hurt.  Just the thought of what they can say to me, it makes me feel very uncomfortable.  After the surgery, they will find out at the right time, and then I know that I will not care.  I have to have the best attitute possible.  I know that God is guiding me and will  be with me all the way.

My excess weight is making me feel so tired.  My feet, knees and back hurt and this limits my regular activities.  I go to work, stay home on the weekends and due the minimum.  I hope to change this life style very soon.

I am hoping to meet new people from everywhere and get their support, as I will give you mine.  I will keep you posted and will let you know for sure if my surgery will be on Sept 25.  I should know by next week.

Have a great evening!  Happy trails.
