Ok.
Had the pulmonologist visit today.
I had hoped that I could get a quick eval and a clearance.
Lungs clear, CHECK.
No snoring, CHECK.
Then Dr. said, for anyone considering Bariatric surgery he REQUIRES a sleep study.
Something else I have to do now!
Grrr.

Stuffed!
No, not my belly, my head.
Had been sick two weeks ago and then again last week. I had to postpone the Pulmonologist due to it. The cold has settled in my head now. I am totally stuffed and can hardly hear.
Woke up with a productive cough and crap all over my cracked lips. What a sight!
I never have sinus troubles but the pressure today is a PITA.
I was supposed to let my friend know if I was going to come over. I am a bad friend!
She has twin boys, toddlers, and they were sick. I don't want to:
a) get them any sicker or
b) have them get ME any sicker!
I should still call.
Had my bkfst shake (water Unjury and frozen strawberries), a hot pocket, two choc fudge pops and have the poopaloopas all day.
Took my Anti D "vitamin" aka Immodium and hope it kicks in.
My house is a mess.
There's shopping to do but SOMEONE won't go. He had me make a list and all then tells me he doesn't feel well. GRR!
Paid bills online and will only be making it by the skin of my teeth, AGAIN.
It is so freakin' hard to hold a mortage and a full rent (equal in $$). When am I going to be able to live there permanently!?
It's been 11 months since my surgery(the last one)/hysterectomy and it is a relief. The pain and bleeding I went through for so long is finally over.
No weight movement this last week. I'm not caring when I feel so shitty.
I wish my nose would stop running. The nose stuffed with bits of toilet tissue is such a glam look!

Rescheduled Pulmonologist
Oooo, there's a storm coming.
I don't like to drive in the ice anyway.
Have to reschedule.

It kicked my ASS!
Holy Shit. I just got my ass kicked by a flippin' computer chip!
The ifit chip that came with the treadmill is a killer.
I have to look online to see if there is a beginner one.
This is supposed to be an 8 week weightloss course.
Holy Shit.
Now, aside from being overweight I can exercise, and I thought rather well.
HA!
I hopped on and took it easy(Man I need Jillian here!) for about five minutes then upped the incline a smidge. I was going at around 3.0. I said "What the hay, let me throw in the chip". No problem....I THINK it started at the low/mid 2's for a MINUTE then....vrooom...slowly speeds up, GREAT! no problem. this is speedy but manageable. The incline soon shoots up....ok, again, no real problem. I am going at a 3.5 and up to a 3.5 incline. Nononooo...I can't Jillian, HELP ME!
I had to cut it. I was walkling and was almost bent over just barely touching the handrails.
Good thing there's a safety clip.
I got 14 minutes of the ifit workout and about ten minutes of my own poopy workout.
Tomorrow AFTER the Pulmonologist I will try again.
Wish me luck.

The long and winding road
Ok, it just got deleted...I LOVE technology!
Start again:
It's going to be a long long long time until I arrive in Lapland.
Someday I hope to read these silly entries and laugh at how impatient I was.
I will have been banded for days, weeks, months....
I went to another (?) meeting/class. This took nearly three hours. The NP discussed all three surgery options and the pros and cons of each. It seems she, and the practice really disuades people from getting the DS.
I have my list of required testing. I then went to my PCP who "told me so" about the process not being quick. I was also chastised about gaining 3 pounds since the last visit. I had a full belly of food plus didn't take my shoes off. I used to always take my shoes off but didn't that day nor will I ever for now on. I am not so silly as to think that my shoes will make or break my successes or failures. So there!
Well, woohoo, officially my SECOND medically supervised weigh in....so HA! Four more months to go.
Nutritionist (affiliated with the surgeon)
Psych eval (affiliated with the surgeon)
Pulmonary eval
Cardiac eval
GI eval AND EGD (FUCK!)
Venous duplex (after ins. approval)
Me thinks there is something rotten in the state of Denmark......where the fuxk did that saying come from?
Anyhoo, one of the Psychs listed on their referral list will see patients at the surgeons office for an $80 fee. There is another listed that if you see her privately she will charge $400?? says the office staff. While I can understand some sort of a charge for an evaluation she is listed under my insurance providers. She SHOULD then, take what the ins company would pay, no?
I think I will forego the hassle and just pay the $80 and see her in the office. I smell a side deal don't you?
I ran over to Office Depot and bought a new shiny expanding wallet type organizer for my reports and test results. A new letter sized calendar and of course, new groovy pens!
Although anyone noticing would say I am disorganized I pride myself on being slightly anal about my organization skills.
I don't relish the idea of having an EGD. They claim they need to assure I have no H Pylori. Well, I don't! I have no symptoms mocking ulcer. I am fine.
