Ok I was approved. I know I have not been on lately to do any updates. School had started for me and helping the kids with their home work and my husband working like crazy and traveling and the Economy man I never knew when I was a kid that the stocks, Wall Street would effect me in any way. In saying that things have been going pretty good.
At first my nurse was pissing me off because she was not returning my phone calls I had to turn around and call her mgr because I could not get that woman to call me back. She had gotten my eval and had not called me at all. After her mgr called me and set my teaching appt for NOV 4th which I was not happy with but what can I do. I got the call this morning saying that my insurance called and I was approved. So now I am having my teaching appt on the 22nd of Oct and meeting with the Dr. Johnson on the 29th of Oct.
So things are moving along............

So I had my computer weight loss eval today and I met with the dietician I only need one visit with her for insurance purposes. But I was told if I needed more appts with her they will pay which is cool. So my appts went fine today and my next appt with the Therapist is to get the results of the eval that I took today I guess to see if I am stable enough for therapy. That appt is Oct 3rd. I have one blood test I need to take and that is too chk my thiamin level.

So I had my first eval with the therapist I was nervous I dont know why I guess cause I have heard some horrible stories about the therapy sessions. Anyway mine went fine I guess I am closer to the new me...... I have my computer WLS testing on the 18th along with my dietican appt. So I will be a busy girl next Thursday. But I am looking forward to it. Other than that I have been keeping a journal of foods I have been eating so that my dietican can see my daily intake of food. I feel like I have lost some weight my clothes fit differently but I will not weigh myself until next thursday to see if I am close to the 13 pds they want me to lose.

Today I had my History and Nurse Visit. Things went very well I have to lose 13 pds before surgery. So I am going to drink more water, no eating out, no sweets, or chips. I need to get in the zone because I am almost at the finish line. I am going to schedule my Therapist visit and dietican visit hopefully by the end of two weeks from Thrusday just because I need to have my journal of weight lose goal so that the dietican can view it. So far the only thing I need is a cert medical nessicity letter from the Dr. I am good then.

So I had my second informational WLS class. I know I have done tons of research for the past yr and deciding if this was something I wanted to do or not. I have friends that have gone thru surgery and I always ask them a ton of questions and talk about my concerns. Today when I went to my 2nd WLS class I learned alot more. I was not as nervous as I was before, and they seem to have their stuff operating just right. After the WLS class they had a scheduler outside making appts for the nurse history visit. I was able to get an appt on the 26th of this month. I am very excited about that. With Park Nick changing my appts to Sept. 5th I have three appts with this new WLS program in the month of August so I am very excited.
August 12th

I thought I was getting ready for my appt Thursday with Park Nick. Until someone called me and told me they goofed up on the appt book and they want me to come in September 5th instead of August 14th. I was pissed and not very nice to the person that called. But I live 1 hr and 45 min away so just calling me two days in advance does not cut it for me. Anyway I took the appt for Sept 5th. But decided to call another hospital and I am going there on Thursday for the info session. Which is ok cause I had planned to be that way anyhow. Seems to me like they have their stuff together way more than Park Nick.

I had been waiting on Park Nick to call me after turning in my paper work for surgery. I decided two weeks was long enough not to hear from them. So I called this morning and the receptionist said I swear I was just about to call you. I have my first 3 appts for August 8th. Some kind of test on the computer for two hrs and then I meet with the nurse. Then that following Monday I meet with the therapist.

I have not posted in a while. I have been so busy with just life, the kids, work, have not had time to even look at a computer when I get home from work. I went to the informational session with Park Nick about two weeks ago it was very helpful. I was thinking either bypass surgery or lap band. I made my decision for the bypass surgery. I also decided to get a physical I had not had one in yr. Got the lab results back today I am pre diabetic, Bad knees, all my other blood work was border line and not over the scale. They want me to cut out the carbs. So thats one goal for me which will be hard I love bread.
