ER Visit

I know my last few posts have had nothing to do with my weight loss but I guess I am needing to vent somewhere and here is the place.
Last night Bobby and I were headed out to dinner. We got about a block from home and started to feel really bad. I started to blackout, I got really really hot, sweatty, naseaus, hyperventilating, weak, evrything started swimming together and I couldnt think straight. So Bobby brings me home and gives me a Hersheys Kiss thinking maybe my blood sugar was low. We tested my sugar and it was normal but I was getting worse so I just said take me tot he hospital NOW! So off we went. We got there and my BP was super low, 74/37. They took tons of blood, gave me two bags of fluids and determined I was very dehydrated and have a very bad UTI, they also said my kidneys have damage to them. So I was sent home with strict bed rest orders and some antibiotics. Yay more meds! Anyway I feel really really rotten.

Back from the doctor

OK so again I went to the doctor this morning, this makes time #4 this week alone. I got "the call" yesterday as I wrote in my blog last night. So Iwent and talked to my doctor this morning and she was amazed at the numbers UC Davis is saying My Cholesterol and Triglycerides were at. Especially since my tests on June 26 were all really normal.
So she ordered some blood work, ouchie, and a urinalysis. She prescribed me a medication for my triglycerides in particular. She told me not to stress out too much. She also said she wanted me to be taking an asprin every day! Then she dropped the bomb on me, this is her last month at the clinic! I was so upset , again I started to cry. God I would think I was pregnant as much as I have been crying today!
I am so emotional today I have ben crying on and off all day. Anything and everything is making me cry.
So I called UC Davis and left a message for the surgical coordinator to call me back. Hopefully they will schedule me since now I have officially jumped through every one of their hoops!

Surgery Update

So they called today and geve me some rotten news! My Triglycerides and Cholesterol is really high. SO I have another appointment tomorrow with my primary care, hah they have seen me almost as much as my husband has this week. So once I get on something to lower them they will schedule me. She said I am at really high risk right now of having a heart attack or stroke, NICE!! As if I wasnt stressed enough! I am so upset right now. I want them to retest me because the levels she was saying is grossly high. So now I have ANOTHER med to add to the list of meds I am currently on.

My med list is:
Atenolol---Blood Pressure
Lisinopril---Blood Pressure and Kidneys
Metphormin---Diabetes
Hydrochlorithiazide---Blood Pressure water pill
Aciphex---Acid Reflux
Prozac----Depression
Naproxen----Knee Pain and Endometriosis
Vicodin----Occasionally at night for knee pain
Zovia----Birth Control
Vitamin B----Stress (physician ordered)
Calcium Supplement
Multivitamin

Anyway I have decided to go on a strict vegetarian diet, no meat product, since animal products are what carry the cholesterol. I need to get this down FAST!!! I was told its best to cut the meat out a couple weeks before surgery anyway to help with not being so sick when you do the two day cleanse.

Small setback, Nothing major!!

Ok so I think I am feeling a little better about my surgery today. I had gotten a phone call on monday saying that my insurance was not going to authorize surgery unless I could prove a 6 month weight managment program. UGH! We had already been over tis before an I thought it was figured out. So I called Aetna and left messages finally someone called me back today. She said that once they get the results frommy psych eval that everything should be fine and she did not know why the other nurse said what she did. So after three days of stressing I think I can calm down a bit. I have two appointments next week and then they can send my paperwork off to the authorizing man and then I can be scheduled! I am looking at either the end of the week of the 17th or right around christmas!! What an awsome christmas gift to myself! At least I am thinking so. So now hopefully I will be able to sleep a little better.
