nightmares
· keekahari · 10/20/2006 00:30
Nothing exciting going on today... but i did have this weird dream last night. I was going in for surgery and there were all these medical people around me talking and I couldnt hear and I just kept saying "where is my surgeon, where is my surgeon" okay, so now I am having nightmares are the big day... How fun. :rolleyes I guess maybe subconciously I am just coming to terms with the whole thing. I have been operated on before so going under really doesnt bother me, but I dont know.. just getting a few butterflies maybe.

Accepting Reality
· keekahari · 10/05/2006 19:32
I needed a place to vent... so why not here. I am scheduled to have my lapband surgery on 11-9. Should be excited, right? Wrong... I feel upset with myself. When I initially started researching the band, I knew it was for me because I am a BIG uncontrolled portion eater. Carbs all day every day. So I began my jouney... Well I think deep down inside, I thought I could still do this on my own. I can work out a lot, can be very enthusiastic. But after trying again.. I failed. failed cuz I just can control my mind to keep my mouth shut. No, instead I convice myself why I should have 8 slices of pizza and cinnamon rolls and biscuits.... URGHHHHH!
I guess I am coming to the realization, that I have a true problem. Something I just cant seem to get control of. I know the band is what I need. I know that I will probably do well with it. But I just feel really crappy for letting myself down over and over again....
Okay, I'll quit my bitchin now:cry

As if I wasnt already feeling crappy...

:tired So now I get a call from my PCP and find out that I am H Pylori positive... I am thinking to myself... What.. what the hell is that and why do I have it!! :cry Well from my research, its a bateria in the stomach and it can cause gastritis and ulcers... Great. Now what does this mean for surgery. Well after going back and forth between the surgeon and my PCP, I find that I need to get on anti-biotics for the next two weeks. Then they will retest me in another two weeks... HOLD IT:omg: I have surgery in 3 weeks so now what. Well my surgeron office says that its cool, that some people are even on the meds when they go to surgery... well for me, I want on them ASAP. I heard they were some big azz pills and I dont want to be trying to figure out how to take them once I've been banded...
Oh so my PCP says that he wants to see me first before he prescribes the meds... what the heck. He just saw me and he has to see me again before surgery for clearance so whats the big friggen deal. Just write the darn perscription so I can be on my merry way... Well thank goodness my Surgeons office said they would write it. But they wanted me to call my PCP to let him know so that I am not stepping on anyones toes... HELLOOOOO. this is my damn body, I am the one who has to take the darn meds, get the dang on band and deal with the dreaded INS people, so I dont really give a rats azz if I am stepping on toes... If it were not for my persistance, I would probably still be hung up on why my ins hadnt approved me yet (GEEZ, THATS A WHOLE NOTHER STORY :faint: )
Well anyways, after all that drama... I will be taking my meds starting today and am still on schedule to have my band.

I learn something new everyday!!1
· keekahari · 05/05/2006 03:58
Hey, I didnt even know this was out here. Great, a spot where I can post all my info... where I can look back at a glance, yeahhh.
Most that know me know I have not been banded yet. I just finished the 6 month PCP visits and now I am just waiting for an answer. But in the meantime, I am not waiting to jump start my weightloss. Since the new year, I lost 25 lbs and hope to be at goal by 12/31. Some days I do really well and some days... DAMN, life aint so great. Well thanks to all my friends on LBT, I stay motivated and am looking forward to losing this weight for good!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
