HELLO, WELL TO GET TO THE POINT. THIS PROCESS IS WAY LONGER THAN I EXPECTED. OOH, I HAD MY PSYCH CONSULT FINALLY ON AUG, 30. IT WAS IN BEUTIFUL BRENTWOOD CALIFORNIA. IT WAS SO HOT THAT DAY I THINK IT WAS LIKE 101 OUT THERE. BUT I MET WITH DR. UNTER. TOOK A LONG QUESTIONEER ABOUT MY SELF. AND WE WENT OVER IT. SHE WRITES COLUMS FOR OBESITY HELP. I WAS IMPRESSED. SHE GAVE ME A COUPLE OF MAGAZINES AS WELL. SO I'M CLEARED ON THAT ASPECT. I FAXED ALL MY LABS, CXR, EKG TO THE SURGEONS OFFICE. BUT MY PTH (THYROID) LEVEL IS A LITTLE HIGH SO THYE WANT ME TO SEE A ENDOCRONOLOGIST NOW. SO THAT MEANS MORE REFFERALS, MORE WAIT TIME. BUT I GUESS IT'S FOR THE GOOD. I AM SOO READY TO LOOSE WAIT. I FEEL DISGUTED WITH FOOD AT THIS POINT. IT HAS GOT TO BE THE EMENY!!LOL! ANYWAY, I'VE BEEN WORKING ALL WEEKEND. SUCKS! SO NOW I'M WAITING FOR ENDO APPOINTMENT TO SEE WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG!

WELL LET'S SEE, HAVEN'T POSTED FOR A MINUTE. TODAY I HAVE BEEN SMOKE FREE FOR 16 DAYS.. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE HARDEST THING TO DO, BUT IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD!LOL.. I TOLD MY HONEY TO BUY ME SOME RALPH LAUREN PERFUME, NOW THAT I DON'T SMELL OF SMOKE. I WILL DO MY LABS TOMORROW MORNING FINALLY. THEN JUST WAIT TILL THE END OF OCTOBER TO SEE THE SURGEON AGAIN. I HATE WAITING :(
MY BIRTHDAY IS NOVEMBER 23. SO I HOPE MY SURGERY DATE IS BEFORE THAT. THAT WILL BE A NICE PRESENT FOR ME.

WELL TODAY I WENT TO SEE MY PCP. I GOT MY CXR , AND EKG DONE. IT LOOKED OKAY. I HAVE ALSO LOST 4.1LB. SO THAT WAS GOOD:p
I JUST HAVE TO DO MY LABS. I WOULD OF DONE THEM TODAY, BUT I WAS NOT FASTING. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A SURGERY DATE!

MY CONSULT WENT PRETTY WELL. I MET DR. DUTSON, WE DISSCUSED THE SURGERY. HE GAVE ME A CHECK LIST OF BLOOD WORK, CXR, EKG, AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS MY SMOKING. HE SAID NO SMOKING FOR 3 MOS. PRIOR TO SURGERY. OMG THAT IS GOING TO BE THE HARDEST THING FOR ME. BUT I WANT THIS AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT STOP ME. I WILL HAVE TO STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD! I ALSO MET WITH THE DIETICIAN AND SHE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BE ON A MEDICALLY SUPERVISED DIET FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS. I WEIGHED IN AT 266LB AND I WILL HAVE TO LOOSE 13 TO 26 LB. BEFORE SURGERY. PSYCH VISIT IS SCHEDULED FOR AUG. 4TH SO I'M NOT LOOKING FOWARD TO THAT CAUSE FROM WHAT I HEAR YOU ARE THERE FOR ABOUT 3 HRS. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. SO I AM TO SEE THE SURGEON IN LATE OCTOBER AND HOPFULLY RECEIVE A SURGERY DATE IF NO SMOKING AND LOOSE 13 TO 26LB.

OKAY SO ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO ME AND MY PCP DISCUSSED WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. SHE SAID I WOULD BE A GREAT CANDIDATE CONSIDERING MY HYPERTENSION, AND PCOS. TODAY SHE PUT THE REFFERAL IN TO ARRANGE A CONSULT WITH A SURGEON. SINCE THE HOSPITAL THAT I WORK AT IS AFFILIATED WITH UCLA MEDICAL CENTER SHE TOLD ME I WOULD BE DEALING WITH UCLA. THEY HAVE A GREAT BARIATRICS PROGRAM THERE SO AFTER RESEARCH I FELT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. LEAVING THE DOC'S OFFICE THAT DAY I MADE UP MY MIND AND DECIDED TO GO THROUGH WITH IT. .. THE START OF MY JOURNEY
