Four Months Really???

It's actually been four months since my initial consult with Dr. McCoglan and today it was my honor to meet the Dr. who would be doing the cutting: Dr. Carson Liu. He answered my every question and I felt so much peace. I'm excited about my lapband and can't wait till insurance gives me the green light. My friend Andrea got her okay yesterday....YAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Andrea is a sweetheart and I'm glad she held on a little longer. I so can't wait to see our transformations. Today it was also my honor to meet Holly. Holly had the procedure in August and she answered so many questions and even let me see her scars (what scars) and feel her port. I'm so very excited to get this done. Another thing going well is things at my work. I believe me and my manager have come to an understanding. This is not a vanity thing for me. This is all about being healthy and re-gaining my life. I'm happy in all aspects.... Now if I can only get my love life together LOL:p

Yesterday pretty much sucked...

Frustration multiply by 10….   So yesterday I was happy, I would meet with my primary doctor and have him to a physical exam and EKG on me…. Sound simple huh? Should have been…. After the embarrassment of having my “flab” out and being topless for this EKG… I contacted my medical coordinator with Dr. to ask him for a fax number for my primary Dr. so my primary could send him the results of my EKG. I may have called him on his cell phone, my bad:decision: …. But after all the hoops I’ve been jumping through I didn’t expect rudeness on his behalf… Short of long…I needed to have a treadmill stress test! I wanted to scream!:censored: Then I tell the doctor this and she was P’d Off at me:mad: and said if you don’t know what tests you need to have, you need to have your surgeon’s office provide us with a letter saying, “Desiree needs this and this and this…” Then of course to add the cherry on the top of my Sundae, my office called in a frantic, “We can’t find this…when will you be back?!” I'm so tired:tired and depressed :youcandothis: and want some Pad Thai and sushi:hungry:   Thus was my wonderful day!   Desirée

Today was a good day...

I have a pre-screening appointment on Friday "Thank You Jesus!" I also had a talk with our HR director about my idiot manager who's had problems with me going to the doctor "All the time"... I can't wait to have this done

It's Overcast out today...

I have a lot more planning for my surgery today. I have so much inspiration and ideas from Lapbandtalk.com members. My friend Sue is just so awsome. She knows how scared I am because I'm doing this by myself. :cry She's gonna take care of me after my surgery and she is so dear to my heart. She had the bypass surgery last year. My other friend Andrea is so awsome too, she is having the same surgery with Dr. Liu and said she'll take me to the appointment. I can't thank the Rogers enough. I met them yesterday when I had my appointment fiasco-- What a sweet kind mother and daughter:love: . I wish my mom was so here for me like that Well.....gotta jet Desi

Arggh!

Today was so stressful....I went to see Dr. Liu, not aticipating that my appointment had been cancelled.... This week has been difficult with the "Maniac" questioning how much time I've been taking off for my doctor's visits. If you have a good superviser, treasure them and if you have one like mine....:faint: I hav to scramble this week and have loads of tests done so I can still have my surgery mid January...just a little stressed now, but eventually I'll be able to exhale:clap2:
