Ok so I am a new person on this site, I have never blogged and I have no idea what I am doing but what heck! So here I go...
In the beginning I was a normal sized baby and kid... Puberty hit and curves came out and kept going and going and going... Now 37 years later I go to my dr's office and the nice PA who weighs 95 lbs soaking wet says have you ever considered weight-loss surgery... I wanted to ask her if she ever considered eating a quarter pounder but I refrained... However rude she was it did get me thinking and I started researching.
First thing I learned - I had to quit smoking... Damn it. I love smoking but I knew it was horrible for me and my babies (9 and 6) both hate that I smoke... So got a prescription for Chantix and two weeks later smoked my last cigarette on April 23. Step one completed!
Next I started looking into what I had to do to get my insurance to pay for this crazy idea... First thing is get an approved surgeon. Looked at all the websites of the surgeons and randomly picked one. Next I set up an appointment and watched an online seminar. I got a letter of approval from my dr, had a mental evaluation done (that was fun), had a sleep study done and got a CPAP, and now I am just waiting for approval.
I am starting to get a little nervous with this whole waiting thing... I am the type of person who gets an idea in their head and goes for it... I push and push till I get what I want and waiting is not my thing... I just want to get it done so I can get started with the rest of my life!
I am going to try and do an entry every couple of days to let you know where I am at and basically so I can just keep track of everything that happens along the way
SO TONIGHT IS MY LAST NIGHT I WILL BE AT MY HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS... I AM GOING TO MY MOM'S WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE HOSPITAL FOR RECOVERY....
MY MOM WORKS IN THE SURGERY DEPARTMENT AT THIS HOSPITAL SO EVERYONE THERE KNOWS ME AND THAT I BAKE... I DO ALL THE FUN DECORATING AND WEIRD THINGS... I HAVE MAKE THE CUPCAKES THAT LOOK LIKE MINI GRILLS TO A TOWER OF MINI CAKES JUST ALL FOR FUN... WELL THEY ARE EXPECTING SOMETHING YUMMY SO I AM GOING TO MAKE A ORANGE POPCYCLE CAKE... AND ABOUT 5 DOZEN COOKIES.....
SO I WILL BE EXTRA HUNGRY TONIGHT FOR SURE! SO I JUST WANT TO SAY IF I PASS OUT OF WANTING TO LICK MY FINGERS BUT I CANT!!!!
