I am soooo lazy

Been on here a long time... and went to the seminar in November 08, and still ******g around....had sleep study, and cardiac clearance, just paperwork I keep putting off....Someone motivate me and kick me in the butt!!!!

My cardiologist is Dr. Henry Liberman at Emory and my Bariatric doc is Dr. Lin at Emory. I seen the cardiologist last month and he said either the surgery or death at this point with my heart and I am too young for that he said. To not give on me. It gets hard...I just dont get how people like being fat... it is crazy, I cant shave my legs well, It is hard rolling over in the bed...Im out of breath all the time and the heat kills me. I have manage to put about 50 pounds on since my 3 heart attacks last year. Crazy huh... yeah he said this has to be done at this point.

I am having the lapband, because they do not recommend the RNY with my heart. He said my heart can tak 30-45 min on the operating table for the band, but could not handle 3 hours on the table for the RNY. So that is what it will be the band...I have anxiety about the port. Every since my heart attacks I have such HIGH anxiety, and I dont like needles or anything in my body or on me... just highly irritated and moody to the extreme since then. So I think of a port lifetime in me and I feel like im gonna need more zanax.

I am so proud of everyone on here who is off their butt and getting things done to make this happen and have a life change! One day I will be there. Sooner than later I hope.

I will go to my PCP and have them fix the paperwork. They put on the letter for clearance that I had been working these last 2 yrs...I have not worked in 2 yrs. So little things we have to change.

Anyways...Good luck to all of you on here! So proud of you all!

and I have Wellcare Insurance for anyone that is curious...

Wow - however you decide to proceed, best wishes to you!  You must take care of yourself! If your doctors tell you you need to have the surgery - do it! 

Hi Julie - We have the same surgeon. Dr. Lin did my RNY surgery in March. I didn't have any of the health issues that you have going on, so I know it is easy for me to say-just do it. But, it sounds like you are in a serious situation and don't have many options left. You need to do this! I am only 3 mos out from my surgery, and already I feel soooooo much better. This is the first summer in years that I'm actually enjoying being out in the sun! It shocks me how much of a difference I already feel. Give yourself this gift, you will be so glad that you did!! You can do this, you just have to believe it. It is so worth it!!
Good luck and best wishes to you!!

Thanks Jayna! I am workin on the paperwork hope to have it all finished by end of the week adn ready to submit to insurance. Already done all the other stuff. I just get so darn depressed. It is hard for me to do much of anything. Walkin to the bathroom poops me out... out of breath and my heart races fast. I know I want this gift...just I geuss I have that small part of me that is scared. I thank you for responding. It means a lot to me! Add me as a friend. We can keep in touch!
