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:

9/23 Echocardiogram

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!
