Oh, where to start?
Well...lets start with work, since that's what is taking up most of my time. I'm on a team of 3, and right now we're a man (well woman) down. Not only is she out for at least a month, but she was 3 months behind when she left! So my other teammate (I'll call him Jay) and I split up her work and have been slaving away at our keyboards. The nice thing is that my boss has allowed us overtime, and I could sorely use the money.
On another note, I had my sleep study last week! It was originally scheduled for March 5th, but they called me last thursday with a last minute opening - for that night! So I only worked an hour overtime, rushed to the store and grabbed the family dinner and rushed off to the hospital. It was surreal. I felt like a science experiment. I woke up SO many times that night. The technician told me that if I had 20 episodes of sleep apnea by 3 am they'd put the CPAP machine on, but luckily I only had 12. At least now I know I do have apnea, and that contributes why I'm so exhausted all the time.
Yesterday was my meeting with the surgeon. She's such a tiny little thing! And so very nice. She agreed that the bypass would be my best option, and told me that I could expect to lose anywhere from 90-120 lbs or more (depending on how active I am). She showed me where my scars would be, and gave me the pre-op diet. At this point they're submitting to my insurance and now it's just the waiting game! I'm literally on pins and needles!
I have to take my measurements and start before/after pictures. Every day I look in the mirror and think about how that person looking back at me is about to change. For the better, of course!
