So much in so little time...

Sep 30, 2010

So much has happened in the past couple of days, it is ridiculous... :-)

In addition to getting ready to move next week into my new apartment, I went in for my sleep consultation yesterday. After a check, he thinks I have some form of apnea...I guess the sleep test next Monday will determine that...
I wasn't sure how I felt about him as a doctor though...he has a handshake like a floppy fish. I find that I can tell a lot about a person by the way they shake hands...and when he went in on his life story like he was listing a resume, I was even more put off...but it doesn't matter...this is an important thing to have done before my sleeve and it will be over before I know it...I will not be please if I have to have some sort of CPAP machine. Blech.

So on my way out, I wanted to ask about setting a date. I was pointed to the benefits manager to see what else I needed to provide as proof of my 6 month weight loss plan and she said that I could go ahead and make the deposit and set a date before she filed through my insurance. We had such a wonderful talk. One of the best things about this office is that every woman there has had some form of WLS, so there are people who can sympathize and know what you are going through. It is such a supportive environment. 
Anyways, I was told I would get a call the next day with my date because she needed to speak to Dr. P.

At work today, I got the call! My date is now set for November 3!! I can't believe that in one month, I will officially bee sleeved! I know I should be scared or nervous or something, but I'm not. I am so calm and excited. I am just ready for this chapter. 

Things I am looking forward to:
-getting outdoors and hiking, swimming, biking and even learning to run!
-sitting comfortably in an airplane seat
-riding roller coasters
-wearing shorts
-wearing a bathing suit...in public!
-clothes shopping in any store I want
-auditioning for theater shows with confidence

Can you tell the list goes on? I can't wait to start checking off things!
