Oct 26, 2007 Awake at 615 on morning of scoping but only because Mother didn’t get the memo that the time had changed and chose to wake me up early I didn’t properly set the alarm. Had difficulty getting to sleep went and laid in bed at 2 am probably didn’t get to sleep till 3. Waiting for ride is annoyingly slow as well, cant drink and urine was brown.

Abbreviated diary 2007
Started year app. 435 pounds, with new insurance I begin going to the doctors for various checkups and gynecologist is very insistent I have gastric banding to lose weight for hysterectomy for my PCO.
Diagnosed with sleep apnea in April, have endometrial ablasion in May; develop severe back pain diagnosed in October as bulging disks and slightly torn disk.
Have determined late in September that Gastric bypass is going to be more beneficial in the long run and begin program to have surgery performed Oct 2, 2007. Debating the duodenal switch instead of regular rgb type bypass. Undergoing physical therapy for lumbar problems haven’t been to work since Sept 3, 2007 (first day missed).
Make pro con list, can only think of 3 real cons, and two would be the same cons even if I lost weight the regular way. I manage somehow to pass the psychological exam and am scheduled for the next phase. Many friends spend time either encouraging or discouraging me in my plans for this surgery, I have spent time praying and getting readings from psychics about it even. It weighs heavily on my mind, but mostly the readings say not to worry just to have faith and to use the tool I am being given to transform myself. (frogs, peacocks, butterflies, dragonflies and finally a turtle show up in various readings all having to do with new beginnings, transformations, and perseverance to achieve my goals.
