My 1st Appointment was to make appointments (short and sweet)

Update regarding my appt.

My first appt at association of south bay surgeons was kind of lame. They checked my weight and took a snapshot of me like a mugshot and then I was taken to a lady who set up 2 appts. for me, one for an orientation and one for a one on one with my surgeon. I asked the lady if she knew when my insurance would tell me if its approved and she said if I got this far I will probably be approved. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm not going through all of this for nothing. Wish me luck!

Work life

So I finally figured out why I get so stressed out at work, its not what I do for the Corp. office and its not what I do for my crazy manager. It's what I do to help people out and when something happens frustration happens, upset happens and I feel like its taken out on me. I swear if you don't think I'm capable of doing something then just take me away and let me just focus on something else. I know I am a good worker and I know I do my job well. I may have stuff to work on as an assistant manager but I know that what I do should be appreciated, I get that appreciation from some but never from the cause of my stress. Oh well its cool.....I'm done venting now, tomorrow is another day.

What do they think?



Change is going to come and what do my family and friends think about it?

My Husband

When I told my husband about it, he wasn’t against it but he wanted to go with me to ALL appts. And here what is exactly going to be going on. After that he’ll make the decision if he’s ok with it too. His point is that he doesn’t want anything bad to happen; he doesn’t want to lose his wife and etc. I totally understand what he is feeling.

My Mom & Dad

I told Mom about what my decision was and surprisingly she wasn’t against it. She told me to pray about it and whatever I decided she would be there for me. At first I didn’t even want to tell her at all but this time I told her about my research that I’ve been doing for it and why I made the decision and she was so positive. We both would practically die if we lost each other. My Well I haven’t had the chance to talk to him about it……well…I actually don’t know if I want to tell him about it at all. I’m kind of scared of his response. I shouldn’t be because my Dad loves me and is always there for me through whatever I go through but I’m kind of just not telling him until I find out details for sure and if I am even approved. So Dad will have to wait.

My co-workers

I’ve been telling some people at work about it, only the people that are close to me because I don’t think its anybody else’s business. My close co-workers are very supportive and if I get it done they are going to be my support too. At work we tend to snack, snack, snack and snack, so with support from them too I know I’ll be strong.

My friends

I’ve only told a few friends, I don’t have many friends so I guess I should say that I’ve told 2 friends. My 2 friends asked a lot of questions basically the usual what is it, why do you want it, do you feel you need it and what are the common side effects. Since I’ve been researching for so long I had the answer to EVERY question. I was fully prepared for their negativity and their thoughts of being against it but surprisingly they both had my back and said if I needed anything during the process just let them know.

Dr. Takahashi

My 1st doctor’s appt. is tomorrow. I’m anxious and excited at the same time. The last couple of weeks my weight has been like a Yo Yo, up 3lbs. down 2 lbs. up 1 lb. down 3 lbs. It’s so annoying!

I appreciate all the thoughts, support of prayers from my family and friends and we’ll see what the doc says tomorrow.

Until next time, have a great week!



Short and Sweet RN/LVN

So....I have an appt with the adviser on the 19th to discuss applying for MSMC in January of 2012. I went to the information session and learned that its going to be quite rough especially having a family and also supporting the family too. It's what I want to do though, I've wanted to do it ever since I was a little kid and didn't do it because I'm an idiot who just assumed that I wouldn't be able to do it. It's a new start and I'm ready for the challenge. I was think maybe I could start out small but going to school to be a licensed vocational nurse but I don't know, we'll see.

Depression turning into happiness.

I think I'm in a state of minor depression. I'm going through a hard part of life and I can't wait til it passes. I'm staying positive no matter how hard it is to. Within the next few months I will be making a decision regarding part of my life. It will be my own decision and I'm hoping people will understand why I am doing it and just be there for me. I'm also planning on going to school for nursing because it's time for me to get down to business, do what I love and make good money for doing what I love. I'm excited for these new changes and I cannot wait til I can get the ball rolling.
