The final eval

Well Wednesday is my final eval for surgery. I got the results from the Colpo on Thursday and everything is good, normal. So just follow up with a routine pap in 6 months. So were looking at 3 weeks after my eval for surgery! I am excited, nervous and scared all mixed into one big bottle of emotion. I am excited that Im finally taking this step to become healthy. Im nervous because it is a huge step. Im scared because there is that small chance that I could die. Yes I am saying it, confronting that fear. I know its not going to happen, I know that! I have complete faith in God and my doctor! Im ready, ready for a change! Tired of being fat and unhealthy.

It all started...

It all started in August 2006. I hadn't been feeling well for a very long time. I went to the doctor because I thought I had a bladder infection. My back ached and I had been peeing non-stop! I would go and as soon as I would stand up I had to go again! So I went, peed in a cup and was told nope there was no infection. What the? But they were going to do some more tests. I was called 24 hours later, I need you to come in and discuss lab results immediately! I was so scared. I went in the next morning, I was diagnosed with type 2 adult onset diabetes. I cried, I felt like my life was over, I would never enjoy brownies, german chocolate cake or lasagna again!! So I decided to lose some weight and get this under control. I lost some weight, gained it and then some back. My blood pressure began to go up again. I was put on a third BP pill along with a water pill. In May 2007 I talked with my doctor about weight loss surgery. He immediately gave me a referal to UCSF. Well I decided to do my own research and pick where I wanted to go, not allow them to make me go somewhere I was not comfortable. So I began looking, talking to doctors and asking LOTS of questions. Everyone who said I know someone who had done that I spoke to. I heard horror stories as well as many dream stories. So I decided to go with Dr. Fuller and Dr. Ali at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. The hospital is about 45 minutes from my home. The two doctors have done over 500 surgeries in the last 5 years with no surgical related deaths! WoW, thats awsome! more later, I am kinda tired of typing for now (o:
