Quickly before I leave work I thought I'd update my blog. I am scheduled for my sleep study consult on 06/21/07, and the WLS seminar with Dr. Tracy Curry on 06/27/07. I am looking forward to both, and I am so anxious and nervous to hear what Dr. Curry has to say to me. I also plan to schedule for a Colonscopy per my PCP's referral.

I love ObesityHelp.com URL. This site is so informative and its so kewl how you can see others before and after pics. I can't wait to get to the loser side of things. I am becoming a BAF /OH Junkie!!  :) Also can anyone tell me when there are BAF events in Cincinnati, Ohio. I would love to attend an event.

Hey WLS friends. Starting to wonder if I am choosing the right Dr. I haven't met him yet, but I wanna make sure he's the right surgeon for me. Any thoughts???

Yesterday I decided to call Dr. Curry's office. After speaking w/ the receptionist I am going to await my visit to the Seminar I am scheduled to attend fro Dr. Curry's office on 06/27/07. I'll keep you all posted.

Hello WLS friends,
  Well today I had my Dr's appt w/my PCP. The minute I walked in they performed the usual tests. My BP was up, but not to high 120/90. The Dr comes in and she went on about my past surgerey asking how things have been afterwards and I told her okay. Well we got down to the nitty gritty and she said the magic words! I am an excellent candidate for the surgery deeming my current weight, my struggles, and possible future struggles. I know I should've been happy with everything , but it felt strange to get someone to quickly answer "OKAY" go ahead and proceed with contact my surgeon of choice. I just knew she was going to have her own refereral for me, but I guess not. So I am going to go ahead and contact Dr. Curry, and see if he concurs with what my PCP says. So far the only steps I have to take w/my PCP are she wants me to have a sleep study and colonoscopy down because of possible past symptoms of IBS. Well, unilt next time. Kepp Positive, Stay Healthy, and Keep Optimistic......

Okay WLS people today is me and my fiance's 11YR anniversary. It is also the day I chose to tell him that I am strongly pursing this surgery. Unfortunately, he is not to comfortable with me having the surgery, but I am sure he will support me with whatever choice I make. Today I came to realize I don't really care who knows that I am having this surgery. Because it is about me! I wanna be happy in my own skin. 

I have been reading this site for some time before I started posting my own blogs. I apologize if it seems like I ramble, but my mind just goes a mile a min when I read this site, and becuase I just have so much on my mind daily. I was wondering before my PCP appt tommorrow what is going to happen. I am kinda afraid again because I was thinking about the fact that I've read many member say you have to have had at least 6 years documented weight loss history. I don't know if I have that much history, not documented that is. It's been a personal weight struggle. I've joined gyms and tried different diet fads, and even weight loss pills. I've even had Dr's prescribe weight loss pill. Which is even funnier, becuase everytime I would go to the Dr they give me program guide I should follow. I admit to haven taken x-enical and phentermine. But that is just it folks, I don't want to have to think about what effects I am putting on my body and heart from some substance. I already have addictions and don't need any more (Sugar,food, cigarettes). I am trying to rid my body of these toxins and they keep trying to shove stuff back in. I am really pissed about this the more I think about this. Overweight people struggle with weight and it seems like the ones that just nod are not compassinate at all. They just nod their heads and say you need to work out. I was an avid "The Biggest Loser" show watcher, and I would love to get into that type of program, but will most people jobs allow them to take off work for 3months to attend some show to work out everyday and still have their employer pay them. I think not! (At least, I am sure not where I work)

PS..... I would like to give a shout out to GRATEFUL7. They woman is HILARIOUS!! However, I would like to thank her for her uplifting word and thoughts. I greatfully APPRECIATE IT GRATEFUL7!!!!

Hello my fellow WLS members. Well I figured I would post a quick message out here. I've been doing a lot of thinking and I know now I AM SO READY for this SURGERY or I WILL GO NUTZ!!!. Well my life has been topsy turvy. In less than 1 1/2 weeks,  my gandmother sister, my fathers cousin both passed. One of my cousins was recently diagnosed with having a brain bleed, and another one had a heart attack yesterday. Man if I don't get this SURGERY, I don't know what I am going to do. Out of all these incidents only my grandmother's sister would I say "It was just her time" The rest of my family members were all too young. This is just unbelievable. Then to top things off a good friend and I were talking the other day and he tells me he's noticed I have a sugar addiction. Even funnier, the point of him telling me this is becuase he also saids: "That typically comes from a close relative in my family that's an alcoholic!" Lawd have mercy, I AM SPEECHLESS........ I can pinpoint the person blindly. He was right though. I really have a sugar addiction. I'm talking about I am a serious candy eater folks. I am surprised I still have teeth???!!!!?!?!?!?!

(Laughing helps soothe my soul, and it could for you too!!!)

This week I called to schedule and appt w/ my PCP to discuss WLS options for me. I am kinda excited and nervous that she will tell me "NO", or she doesn't typically refer her patients to do this, or she'll tell me to go on another "Diet" of some type. DIET: Nope, Not gonna happen, ain't trying to hear it, cause I've been there and done that. 
I was also very proactive and checked w/ my INS (Humana) and they verified w/ the plan I opted w/ my employer I would be 100% covered as long as I chose someone w/ in the ntwrk. This is great news. Well we will see how things go.... until then....
