Wow finally some sleep not all night but hey I will take anything I can get!!

Yay finally i slept for about 2 1/2 hours !! :notagree I decided to get a jump start on my Spanish homework...good thing too it took me 4 hrs to do it!! I had a quiz thursday night...and one 2 weeks prior...both I fear I bombed. :cry So I decided to get the homework done and out of the way so I can start studying for the final (next thursday)..I need to do a good job so I have a fighting chance to pass this class. :nervous Oh yeah and I also am supposed to do a 2-page paper on some "spanish" experience...watch a movie, read a book, visit an art museam, or eat at a Spanish restaurant. I was going to just research it (we can do that too) but he is really into the restaurant thing so the only way to bag an A is to go to the restaurant and write about it..oh well. So, while I was looking at the restaurants online, I decided to finally try a Mojito, the Prof had given us the recipe last semester....I had the ingredients so i looked up the measurements online and made 2 -1 for me, 1 for hubby...ugh he didn't want one:( ...so I had to drink them both...lol. Wow goes down smooth but hits ya like a brick wall. No headache either...yay. Now all I need to do is get to the restaurant and write my report! (I can do this!):clap2:

The History

One Day in April (2006) I decided that this weight gain has gone too far. I hated feeling "sick" all the time. I def do not feel my age, and didn't want to look older than my age. My sister had gastric bypass surgery done 4 years ago. I was a huge supporter of this as I do not want to see her die young (she is younger than me).:faint: At the time I was no where near the weight you have to be to have WLS.:eek: Last year I went to Europe with my oldest daughter for two weeks...we literally "walked" europe. I came home 17 lbs lighter:D , I vowed the weight would not come back. I lied. :phanvan It not only came back, it brought 30 of it's friends with it......ugh:cry . Oh I didn't mention that I am not a big snack-attacker....I am a full-time student whose husband cooks like a gourmet and I am at his mercy at dinnertime:hungry: . I also have three kids, three dogs, two cats....busy house.

Process stage one

Okay so first I get the bloodwork done locally (it was faster). Then came the nutritionist, then the psych eval....lol I am a psych major--I interviewed myself several times already.....didn't they know that???....LOL:lalala: on the 30th of May I had all the other fun stuff done...xrays, ultrasounds...drinking that puky stuff so they could xray me again:spit: . Next stop....pulmonary specialist to make sure I do not have sleep apnea :sleep . Omg Nurse-zilla and her faithful followers work in the NJ office!!! What a twit, I try to arrange the test after the doc swore to me that he would speed me thru and get me a bed in the next day or two......yeah they gave me an appt 5 weeks later!!!!!!! Then i called around to get a better deal...same sleep center company just a different location and one I knew for sure was covered by my insurance---and Nurse-zilla had a fit. Hello-----its my right as a patient to make sure I am getting the best medical attention I can!!!!!! :heh: Ugh I was sooo mad...she had the nerve to tell me that getting an appt quicker would not get my surgery quicker...omg did she even hear what she was saying??? My surgeon told me the faster the test, the quicker i get my surgery date!!!! But no, I was nice to Nurse-zilla because I figured she had something I needed----I will bitch slap her later!!!!:devious So after a week of "convincing" her i get my appt....I did the sleep apnea test :notagree on July 2nd. This Tuesday, I get the results from the doc. (If I am lucky -nurse-zilla will be on vacation). Getting so excited now.
