I'M HOME NOW!!!!

Aug 20, 2010

Well I'm home now and doing good   I'm very sore but I'm moving around alot... The surgery went well but the anesthesia made me so sick.. The first day I was in so much pain that I was like " What the hell did I just do to myself? " lol.... But as days went on I started to fell alot better.... The next day I was up and walking the halls all day.... I had a huge private room so I had alot of company during my stay and my baby sister never left my side..... Everyone at the hospital was so nice and helpful... My surgeon was awesome!!!! I'm glad to be home although I cant really sleep... I go from the bed to the sofa to get comfortable.. I'm up and walking around the house constantly... I'm starting to drink more fluids although I'm not eating because I'm not hungry.... I have a home health-care nurse coming to check on me later on so that's good... If anyone can get me some tips about what to eat and all then please feel free to send me a message to help a sister out..lol... Thank GOD I'm finally on the loser bench

I thought I was done......

Mar 15, 2010

 I had the EDG test done last friday and everything went well..... They did a biospy, so now I'm waiting for the results to come back to see if they are gonna put me on antibiotics because my H Ployri blood test came back positive.  I had submitted my paperwork to the surgeons office last friday only to get a phone call yesterday saying that they couldn't send my paperwork into the insurance company yet because my pcp didn't write a letter of recommendation for surgery...ugh... So i called my pcp yesterday and she told me that she would type it and send it to me in the mail today.... so hopefully I will get it by the end of the week and I will be able to send it in..... This is a very loooong process and i will be glad when its over.

1 more month before I can submit my paperwork

Feb 24, 2010

I have completed 5 months of the 6 month process of being supervised by my doctor for the diet history requirements for gastric bypass..... Yay !!!  I have also completed my psyc eval " I'm not crazy...lol...." and the nutrition class and 1:1 eval, so I have 1 more month of getting weighed in and I have to get labs drawn, the EKG, and my chest x-ray and I'm finish with all the requirements for my insurance company.... I'm so excited!! I am starting to get really nervous though..... I thank God that I have alot of people supporting me because this was a very hard decision to make. I hope that the outcome will be sucessful.
