Hair question - I have been losing my hair, and am now "used to it" finally.  I was told to cut my hair short(er) and that I would lose less hair.  My hair is straight, and goes past the middle of...

Two weeks post op - Doing pretty good too.  I started back at the gym yesterday, and I feel so much better about that. 20 minutes yesterday, and 21 today on the treadmill.  Nothing hard or strenuous, ...

Feeling much better - 8 days post op - I still have pain in my 'dent', but for the most part, I am doing soooo much better.  I am getting about 50g or a little more of protein every day.  Each shake gives me 25 (per 1 s...

5 days post op - And I am in alot of pain. I really think that laying down, and getting up by myself has really taken its toll on me.  I seriously believe I have pulled a muscle. It burns and hurts...

I am home and I am tired - I went in on the 18th, and came home a day later then expected on the 21st. My kidneys had a real hard time waking up after the surgery and I just was not producing anywhere near t...

My last post - on this side of the fence - I cant really leave home since I took the colon blow at about 2PM today.  Though it isn't doing the complete damage I thought it would, I am still not 100% settled. Laundry is done...

Confused - Maybe because it is coming so fast, or that I don't even know 100 % if it is going to happen - but I'm confused.  I'm approved for sure.  I got the approval letter from insurance S...

Appoved, and on the accelerated track - I got the call today about being approved! YAY... So excited. But, I got into a car accident 3 days ago, (not too bad, they have more damage then me, and its 100% their fault).  Bu...

Dr. cleared my packet, and I've been submitted for - I should know by the the 5Th if I am approved or not. The give you a pending date, then once your approved, you get it, meet with the surgeon and either keep it, or postpone if due...

That's it, all of my needed requirements are done - I just got home from my Endoscopy which was a total breeze.  They called this morning, and said they are ahead of schedule to come in ASAP. So I was being wheeled out the doors at ...

Still truckin', nothing too new.... - The good:  I now have 5 of the 7 things required to be done prior to submitting my paperwork for insurance approval.  Tomorrow I go in for my nutrition evaluation, and I have my en...

More things checked off my list - So, I had the (moved up) surgical consult today, and it went great.  Found out all I need is the endoscopy and nutritional class prior to surgery.  Dr Kim took all my past lab slip...

Got another call about 20 minutes ago - I really need to quit being so cynical..lol  I got a call from Oakland, and my first thought was, "Oh crap, whats wrong?". But, its a really good thing.  I am supposed to have my ...

Finally, got the first call - So, Monday October 4th I have my nutrition and exercise class.  Then Tuesday, Oct. 5th I have my surgical consult with Dr. Teresa H. Kim!    Not too excited about driving to Oaklan...

First support group meeting - I loved how it only took me 10 minutes to get there.  I also loved everyone there.  There were people all the way from 6 years out - to scheduled for surgery next week! And even tw...

Still nothing yet from ABSMC - I know its within two weeks of last weeks seminar that we are to hear if I am considered a candidate for surgery or not.  I still have another 7 days to (possibly) wait. But, OMG i...

Made the 50 minute drive to Oakland last night - I swore I would not tell anyone, even my kids.  I have this strong phobia of if I tell people, it wont happen.  My husband knows, now my kids know, and my teacher knows (she has ha...
