Let me tell you. Last night I should have been comfortable but I wasn't, bed was too soft, made my back hurt. You can't sleep on your stomach it has to be your back or side. Sleep I don't know if I slept, I could hear very little noise, and while in the inbetween (sleep and awake), I was holding a conversation with myself in my mind. Like what I needed to do the next day, stuff that was going to happen. I did not feel like I got much sleep because I woke up I'd say about 4-5 times. The tech syays they don't discuss the results so I have to wait until I get to the doctors office and he'll let me know I guess. WOW what a nite.

Today I am going to see my primary care physician for my routine annual so that means bloodwork for me(updated). I will also pick up any other documentation to be taken to Dr. Vohra for wls. My sleep study is scheduled for 9pm tonight. I really do think I may have apnea because even though I sleep at night I keep waking up, and I am exhausted the next day, and have no energy(being anemic doesn't help).
I have scheduled all my exams so everything should be completed by 2/15/2010. I am kinda worried though because I have NYAmerichoice(medicaid HMO) and I don't know how many months worth of dieting they require you to have previously. I did call and ask but rep says they did not have that info, when dr calls for auth they would give them that info. SO if any reads this and they know let me know please. Thanks.

I went to the support group for weight loss, and it was great to meet a lot of people who lost lots of weight. The are upfront about the good and the bad times that happen through the journey, but even in the end they would do it all over again. I hav all my paperwork in, so i am waiting for my appointment on February 3, 2010, I will meet with psych, nutrionist, nurse, doctor, and hoping all goes well. Since I am home, I have made all my appointments to be in the same week, so my results should be in by the following week. Can I get a surgery date by the end of the month in Feb who knows possible. I am feeling good and very optimistic right now, I did not think I could be any happier right now.

Well I made it to the new year but with a lil scare. Right as new year hit and morning rolled around, I started feel funny getting short of breathe as I walked and then the chest pains started. I ended up in the er, about 2pm and was quickly ushered in and put on a monitor, well I wound up in the hospital, series of stress tests, scares because while I slept my heart rate dropped to 30, sleep apnea yes I have it now. But all went well besides my enzymes being a lil off, no heart attack, dr syays possibly stress. I can't wait to get this weight off.

I am excited as the day rolls around to my 1st appointment with my doctor. I gathered some information about my psoriasis, and found many medical journal articles about how psoriasis is considered to be a co-morbid for obesity. It states once people have the surgery the symptoms and rashes disappear and have not returned. I am hoping that's my case study. I can't wait to get rid of it since medicine does not work. My knees are not feeling so hot though although the weight loss would help a lot. Stress is killing me with all the fighting between my boys, the youngest one thinks I love everybody more than him. And he is the only one I hug everyday 5 or 6 times a day saying I love you. I am going to enroll them in an activity that will keep them busy and out of each others hair.

Well it finally snowed. Not doing so hot today all the years of eating greasy food has caught up with me. Everything I eat I get naseau spells not good, and I am not pregnant no. I know I will need to have a scope to see what shape my stomach is in. I hoping no ulcers or anything of that nature. I worry about my son who is 10 and overweight hisself. My other 3 are of normal weight. wonderful for me to pass the gene to him.

I twisted my knee last week and have had pain while stepping or walking, so I went to orthopedic today, who told me bluntly to stay off it. No walking up and down stairs, and I may have tore a meniscus which requires me to go to physical therapy, also he told me I need to lose weight. Of course I know this and this is why I want to have the surgery. I am also concerned about the back pain especially on the left side I have developed, which gives me a constant ache kinda like a have a pinched nerve, but pain goes up my chest area, and around back down. Hope I 'm not having a heart attack either. Well I am off to bed now it's been a long day.

Well it just turned Christmas and it's 1:21 am and again I have insomnia. I just can't seem to stay sleep at night and i don't want to take sleeping pills. Thanks to all my OH friends, I always welcome people with open arms. That's one reason we are here to support and encourage each other. I having problems now my feet are swelling besides the not sleeping so I think I need to get checked out by my pcp, throughly. Hope everyone at OH has a great christmas.
