Still Testing..

Hello everyone!

So last week i had my first apmt with my dr and my BMI is a 63 which is way high since im only 23. I don't know how I ever got to be this big, but anyway I'm changing that now! My doctor was so nice, the whole staff was nice and made you feel super comfortable, I was not scared or nervous. The first thing i did was meet with the nutritionist and she was very nice and of course I cried (because I'm such a baby and I cry over everything) then I did my phyc eval which was more like her asking me why am I getting the lap bad in which i started to cry again because all i want is my life back and then she ended up crying with me and she showed me that she too had been banded! I did my blood work and Diane was soooo good she got in on the first try yay! and then finally I met with the handsome and very sweet Dr.Martinez he sure did make me feel very taken care of it almost felt as if i was talking to my dad!

so I finally finshed up and went home to eat since i had to fast for my blood work. I got a call 2 hours later saying they wanted me to come back and do a sleep study which I knew would probably be coming since Ive been researching the lapband for the past 6 months, also i have to do an upper gi as well as get my gall bladder removed =[ so tomorrow tonight i go in for my sleep study to make sure i don't have sleep apnia and tomorrow morning i will do the upper gi and a week from then i will be going in to remove my gall bladder because i have stones. Hopefully after all this my insurance will have an answer for us, I know that alone could take a while. So wish me luck, Id love to hear from other people, I've been kinda scared for all this testing but it has to be done right?? I just really really hope my insurance comes back with a positive answer and will just say yes so i can get this done...

thanks for reading
