Surgery DATE...?

I started a new job at a hospital, Been there a couple of weeks, and I love it. I can see myself doing it for a long time even retiring from it. I also been working on my surgery requirements since June. Today at work I received a call from the surgeon's office. They want to schedule my appointment for November 26th. Two days before Thanksgiving. I am very happy. However, I either get the surgery and loose my job or keep the surgery and don't do the surgery.  I am a temporary employee. They need me for the holidays. Chance are that of course If they need to downsize or anything , I am the first one to go. However all the other temps in the department had really good luck and have now even permanent positions. My dilema is, I can either just work until my surgery, leave and when I am all well try to apply again or forget about the surgery for a while. But then again is my health right. Me not having serious medical problems and not being severely obese is a priority right.. I am very sad, but I guess I will work until I cant work no more, and continue with my surgery arrangements. There are plenty of other jobs out there, and only one of me.  So I have to take care of my body, before I can take care of anyone else. So yes, November 26th it is. =)  By the way, so far I lost 16 pounds!

SLEEP APNEA.... CPAP Machine

I went to test the Cpap Machine, and it wasn't too bad.  I actually slept good. Beside all the cords hanging from my body and the mask in my nose, I slept like a baby.  I was actually well rested, but them I got home and slept the next day and and back to feeling tired. I think my doctor supposed to prescribe me a machine to use until I loose all this weight. ... Supposedly getting more oxygen at night and a better sleep is going to help me lose the weight faster so I don't become sepsis. 

Surgery Date coming soon!!!

I went to the second appointment yesterday. It went great. I was complimented on how I fast I got everything done. They have never seen anyone move so quick on the process and achieve so much in so little time. I am very proud of myself.  I had a list to complete and I did all of it:

• Attend a information meeting
• Attend a Support group
• Get a letter of medical necessity
• Get a sleep study
• Get psychiatric clearance
• EKG
• Loose 10% of my target weight
• Complete a food journal
• Get blood work done
• Get nutrition class

It seems like not a lot but to get people moving you got to e persistent other wise they will take their time, sometimes they are just busy but if you really interested and really want this they will see it and help you out along the way. I am looking at a October date or early November. Two weeks before I start a liquid diet then  a week before surgery I am getting a colonoscopy and a endoscopy. Then I start my new life.
