Through the Hoops!

JANUARY 15,2005

I'm sorry that it has been so long since I've updated. I had a good dose of discouragement that lasted for a while.

I stuck it out with the diet. Went and had the required tests done. Everything came out the way it should. I had my sleep study done as well. (That was an experience!) It was determined that I do have sleep apnea. I now have a "CPAP" machine here at home.

It is safe to say...that the six month Dr. suppervised diet was EASILY the worst part of this so far! Not so much the "diet" itself. I constantly felt like I was running a race at full speed but always having to go backward because the Dr.s office and insurance company were always lagging behind. Obviously not feeling the urgency I FEEL regarding this surgery haha. Also there for a while I was concerned that my PCP and I were not on the same page. Now that I'm not in the middle of that any longer, I can see she had my best interests at heart. I just wasn't always convinced of that haha.

Needless to say my motivation and spirits took a great nosedive for a while. I did what I was supposed to do, but felt that I was getting nowhere. At any rate, I am now at the point where my paperwork has been submitted. It has now been three weeks. I haven't heard anything (they say this is normal up to 8 weeks) which makes me a little anxious.
