Hi everyone, it's been quite awhile since I've been on.  My job location has changed temporarily and I don't have as much access to the internet.  But I just wanted to share what has been happening. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea after my sleep study and am now using the CPAP.  I also found out through my yearly eye exam and many tests that I have a condition called pseudotumor cerebri which is excess fluid around the brain causing excess pressure and swelling of the optic nerve.  Anyway this is found mostly in women of child-bearing age who are overweight and have sever sleep apnea.  So just another thing to add to my co-morbidities. But on a better note, I had my last of my six month visits on Tuesday, so now everything goes to insurance for approval.  Tuesday Dr Mo asked me when I wanted the surgery and I told him asap.  Well the nurse said they are scheduling right now for Dec 19th.  So depending on how long my ins co takes, I could be having this before Christmas!  I can't believe how fast the last six months have gone, but now the time will drag waiting for the ins approval. I will try to get on here more often and keep you all updated.

Hey Sandi, Best wishes for a speedy insurance approval and quick surgery date! Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

So glad that your going to be given a chance to "turn the tides" on the co-morbidities!!  Loved it when I was able to start deleting some from my list as I got healthier.   Keep us updated and congrats on ending the 6 months.   TraciL

Hi Sandi, I am so glad to hear from you.  Congratulations on completing your 6 month.  I am sorry about the new diagnosis. Hopefully with the surgery that will disappear.   Wishing you a speedy insurance approval. Please let us know as soon as you hear something. Big hugs, baby

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
