ok ok!

I signed in and poked around got the message "Hey Sissy907 you haven't posted in awhile, why don't you say hi or answer some questions!!"

So here I am. Frustrated and angry. Still no band. I had a sleep study a few nights ago so I should hear about the results of that in a week or so. That is really my last shot at getting the band without having to gain more weight. And on that note, do you know in all this time TRYING to gain weight, eating whatever I want and how much I want (acctually trying to stuff myself to over full) and drinking 3-4 ensure plus shakes a day I havent gained any weight? This makes no sense to me, and is frustrating. Just 10-20 lbs would do it and I would be on my way to health! So since I have had little luck gaining, and I honestly dont think I have any trouble with sleep apnea, I am fearing it will be a cold day in hell until I get my band.

On an upside I am applying for a new job at a vet clinic here, I would really enjoy time out of the house, without thinking about my weight and other issues. Maybe they offer health insurance that will pay for this... Who knows.

So hi everyone! Sorry I am not feeling more positive about all of this. Hope everyone is having a lovely spring and enjoys a great time with their family for Easter!!

The gaining weight is OVER! I just got a call back from my Doctors Nurse and she said the sleep study confirmed I have sleep apnea.. I am kinda shocked cause I never knew! So I have made the calls and appointment necissary to get my records to Walter Reed so I can get this process started. I cant wait to be on the "band"wagon too! I am so excited to be healthy SOON!

WoooHooo---time to return the ankle weights, you will be over here in banland soon!!!

Should say sorry about the apnea, but if you never knew you had it, maybe weight loss alone will help it!!! And it helped you!!!

So happy for you!
