Excited & Scared

Well, I have my first appointment tomorrow. I hope it all goes well. then on the first I have one with my GP. Since I haven't received the letter in the mail with the "go ahead" I am going to ask him to give me one then. I guess he and I will talk about that more then. I will let you know how it goes. Two appointments this week and three next week.
Here we go...

I have made a major decision





Let me see...
This blog is all about ME~
ME...ME...ME...
I am age 45. For the past 12 years I have weighed about the same thing.
~HEAVY~

I have pondered about this for a long time and I have finally decided...

I am going to have Gastric Bypass Surgery.

My first appointment was on August 12, 2010. I attended a 4 hour class.

It was very interesting and very scary.
Honestly, I was really hoping that my regular doctor would not approve.

I have what is called Diabetes Insipidus. Not Diabetes.

Well, it took over a week to get an answer from my doctor and he said YES!

Oh my gosh!

Now, last year when I ran it by him he told me no. So again I thought this would be my way out.
Nope. He said yes!

So the way I was looking at it is if he said no then it was not ment to be.
If he said yes it was Gods way of telling me this is what I need to do.

So... Thank You, God!
Please keep me safe though this journey I am about to take.

I have several appointments that I have to go through.

August 30th I have an appointment with a Psychologist.

(I mean really, you have to have your head examined!)


Yesterday, they called and told me before I could have my endoscopy done I have to pay my 10%. So I gave them my VISA number. I turned around at my desk, with my hands on my head thinking "oh my gosh, I am really doing this."

I want to feel better.
Get off most of my medicines.
Not feel tired all the time.
Enjoy life with CJ.
Do things...Get off my butt!
I can not even picture myself small.
I have been over weight all of my life!


So...
8/30 I have Psychologist
9/3 Cardiologist (new)
9/8 Endoscopy
9/8 Pulmonary
9/9 Nutritionist (another 4 hour class)
Update:
10/1 Pulmonary follow up
10/7 Cardiologist follow up
Those are the appointments I have so far, I will let you know when I have more.

Now, I love comments but please keep in mind

"If you can not say something nice...Don't say nothing at all"

Please!
