Post Op!

So my surgery was changed to the 19th which was Thursday so that way I would be the only person on the schedule that day and the only one in recovery. Everything went great I was in at 6:30 and on the table by 7- surgery was over by 8. I woke up quickly and was just a little dizzy from the anesthesia but that's normal, they said I woke up very fast and they were surprised at how well I did. Drank some water and then was home by 10. I felt great! Went for a couple of walks and even went shopping,

Keep On Keeping On.

I haven't been on here in awhile, I've just been so busy getting everything done and sent over to my surgeon's office so that I can hurry up and wait. I will be having my surgery on July 18th with Dr. Paul Enochs in Cary. My surgery is exactly 16 days from now and I am so excited! I thought that I would be more nervous than this but I'm just so thrilled, I can't wait to be on my way. The only thing I'm worried about is this heat! The temperature has been in the hundreds for the last few days I

My sleep study is tonight and for some reason I am so nervous..it's making me feel ill. :/ This is make it or break it time..everything I've done for the last few months rests on the results of tonight..so nervous.

Just Rambling...

As a follow up to my previous entry...I have a sleep study scheduled on May 14th. The results of this sleep study will determine if I am able to get my lap band. If I have sleep apnea I will be covered and if not I am at a loss for now...I have never wanted something so badly in my life. I hope and pray that I have some form of sleep apnea..as this is my last chance to "find" a co morbidity. Is it odd for me to be hopeful that I have a sleep disorder? If I have sleep apnea I will be able to stay

Devastated...

I am devastated...I just found out today that even though I am self pay I will not qualify for lap band if I cannot "find" a co-morbidity....after being through all of my seminars and education classes and psych eval, nutrition counseling all of it I find this out today 1 month from surgery. I am 1 pound away from 40 bmi and about 150 pounds overweight but because I am young and "healthy" I will not qualify??? Just because I don't have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or sleep ap

2 Months To Go...

Let's see... where to start....Well I am on my way to becoming a bandster...I'm at my highest weight that I have ever been- 270ish pounds. It's time to move foward..I have my surgery date set for June 4th of this year. I couldn't be more excited. I have been reading these forums for months now and finally my story is a reality.
