OMG....i have had to resubmit my request for medical records.  I am so disappointed.  The records were supposedly mailed 2/24 and they still have not arrived at Dr Marema office.  What a let down.  Maybe i need a good cry.  they make it so hard to get my records. 

I have been walking every day and have reduced the amount i eat significantly.  also take 2 multivitamins a day.  Up to oer a mile now when I started at just a block.  Working at it.

It is in God's hands ....i cant fight it today.

waiting for my medical records to get to Dr. Marema.  Supposedly they were mailed on Tuesday night. Hoping for Monday delivery.  Will call the office tomorrow afternoon to check on it.

This will fulfill the requirements that Dr Marema office was told by my insurance so hoping to submit for approval soon.

Didnt walk yesterday but garage sales and shopping helped.  Today i am tired.  i deserve a day of rest from work and renovation. 

I dont mind waiting for my allotted time but enough already. 
I would walk to the hospital if they approved me for today.

Looking forward to being on the losing side.

Well i walked twice yesterday for 10 minutes each.  Slept well last night.
I walked this morning early.  and it actually was a little easier.  Will walk this evening as it is 81 degrees right now.
i am trying to eat more healthy. at least i have started.  I was having the last meal syndrome and had a good talking with myself.  Any good changes i can make now will serve me well after surgery.
I am really wanting this tool to help me get to a healthy bmi.  One more hurdle with the medical records and dr Marema office will submit for insurance approval.  Then more waiting begins.  Prayer will help me get thru that time as it always does.
Love to all keep at it

Don't trade what you want most, for what you want at the moment.

I love this quote.  I really speaks to me.

I walked again this moring for 12 minutes.  Will go again later i hope.
My lower back hurts.

Today i will start to walk.  I am sure my back with hurt and i will huff and puff but here i go.
Love to all

Well folks,
yesterday i had my pysch appt.  filled out paperwork ad nauseum and was scared to have someone try to get into my head.
What a nice man he was...gentle yet probing.  Yes i cried a couple of times. 

He told me i was a kind warm person and was an excellent candidate for the WLS surgery.  I could have hugged him thru the tears.  He said you are going to do just fine. 

So one more hurdle passed.....the report is going to Dr Marema shortly. 

Cant wait to get my medical records now.  Hugs to all.

hi all
another hurdle completed.  Kaiser has a coordinator assigned to get my records for the insurance approval.  the request has gone to the copy service so hopefully next week this will be completed and faxed to dr marema.  i go for the pysch visit tomorrow and i am getting a little nervous.  Will they recognize all my issues?  will the men in little white coats take me away....open to the soul for them tomorrow.  i want this so badly.  i have been making a pro/con list for RNY.  OMG the pro list is two pages long but all my fears show on the con side that is less than half a page.  i push forward with lots of support from hubby and research onthe web.  you all are great sharers of information ....

Love to all

Happy Valentines day everyone.

Well my next mission is to get medical records.  I talked with Kaiser again today.  They have an 8 day turnaround.  Maybe it will be sooner.  they will be faxing to Dr Marema.  Hope it goes quickly.

I plan on reviewing the meal plans that i found on Dr Marema site and purchase some products to  start using them.
I am very excited yet nervous to get this all moving.

Today i realized quite like a electic bulb going off that i dont have to wait and worry.  I can move forward and begin to lose whatever weight I can and also begin to exercise.  Habits made now will hold me in good stead after the surgery as well.

I have made great strides and feel hope finally.  Looking at all the before and after pics i can find inspires me. scares me, and provides awe and wonder. 

I have requested additional medical notes from my former insurance carrier and will work to get those in a timely fashion.  they will be faxed to Dr. Marema's office.  I also was able to make the appt for the my pysch evaluation for next Friday.  I filled out the paperwork they sent me on Friday afternoon.  Going thru all the questions made me sad and depressed.  My family my whole family has had issues with weight and co-morbidities.  I felt defeated and hopeless that evening.  A good nights sleep and my sweet husbands support brought new light into my life on SAturday.  Spending the day with my hubby showed me just how much he is there for me.  Discussion about pros/cons led to him saying; I love you, I want you to be happy and healthy.  We will work out whatever comes.  You gotta love that.

This morning i started daydreaming and thinking about how life will be after the surgery.  It will be good.  I am starting today to each better and walk a little mor each day.  Thank you Lord for helping me get here.
A good day to everyone.....
