Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything.
I am not so mad at God for taking our Trigger away from us anymore. Still wish it wouldn't have happened, but I'm not crying, mad, or feeling that terrible guilt anymore. We all just really miss our Trigger.
I have really been working hard at changing things before surgery. I haven't had pop in a while, have been staying away from sweets, drinking protein drinks, gathering things I will need for after surgery and etc.
I had my PATS this past Monday and I passed!! I was nervous for nothing. I was worried that they would tell me I needed to go have a sleep study done, but NOPE, nothing about it was said.
I enjoyed my time there and the people there are really nice. I did have two bad experiences though.
First, I was in the examinging room and a nurse came to get me and led me to stand and wait for her straight infront of a man sitting there. This nurse had to go get another girl who was going to get her chese xray and ultra sound the same time as me. Well, it wouldn't have been too bad standing there infront of this young man if I wasn't standing there in my hospital gown and no bra on!! I had my jeans and shoes on, but no bra or shirt, just a gown!!
So, my boobies were just there hanging!! LOL I turned to the side, but that wasn't much better, he could still see me and my hanging boobies!! ARGGGG It was a LONG 30 or so seconds!! Then, I had to turn and walk by him while reaching back and holding my gown shut. I only had the top tied ~ I didn't know!! LOL
Then, my second bad experience was that I was forgotten!! After we met with the nutritionist, we were called back to go back into the examinging room to talk with a doctor. Well, I was called 2nd along with another girl. After about 25 minutes, my husband, who was with me, said they forgot about me. I said, no, and tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, after hearing doors opening and shutting and people shuffling around and voices coming and going and even hearing the lady doc walking around in and out of rooms, I began to wonder. After 50 minutes of sitting there, my husband opened the door to my room and stood there and looked out. This lady doc (don't even know who she really was) looked at my husband and put the chart down to this other person who was there WAYYYYYYYY after me back in the slot and grabbed my chart and came right in. She didn't even apologize!! ARGGGG
But, I'm not letting those two little things change my mind about Barix. I loved it there for my PATS and everyone was really nice.
So, I was told that I will be called on Wednesday or Thursday with my time I have to be in next Wednesday for my surgery!! YAY I'm sooooooo excited.
When I went for the seminar/consultation, Dr. Poplawski wanted me to drop 10 pounds by time of surgery. I was 294 then and I weighed in for PATS at 280 and I'm not going to mess up this week and eat tons of 'last meals'!!
John and I, however, did stop at a chinese buffett in Saginaw and enjoyed our lunch after my PATS. I was soooooooooooooo hungry cause I didn't have anything to eat since 11 the night before and this was 1:30 PM when we got to the resturant. But, I really didn't eat much. I had water to drink (only a little though) and really not much food.
We went to GFS and I got some little containers and lids to put foods in for me after surgery.
Well, I'll close for now.
I'm almost on the loser's bench!! Can't wait.
TTFN,
Tari
