Its getting close to my surgery date and I am very excited. I can't wait to get out and moving around like I want to. I want to get a bicycle soon so I will be prepared when I am ready. Mama is still a bit nervous, as am I. I'm just scared about the surgery itself right now. Will everything go ok? I hope so. Thanks to everyone who has sent me messages! :D Will post again soon.

They finally got all the tests sent to Dr. Freeman's office. Everything is clear and now we just wait until after the holidays.I am so ready for this. I have become even less mobile than I was. I hate even getting up to move around the house and I can't get comfortable anywhere. I really miss my friends.

Well, we have had the tests and everything and they said they were all good, but now is the trouble with getting the doctor's to fax the results to our regular doctor so he can fax them to Dr. Freeman. This is a bunch of crap. They told my mother that if our regular doctor wanted the results he could call and get them. even after I told them before the tests, that I needed the results sent to my doctor. Plus! The car we are going in is running hot, so now we have to have that fixed. At least my girlfriend's uncle is a mechanic. But the stuff with the doctors is what really makes me mad. Why can't they just fax the damn results? I understand that they are busy, but one of them said to check back in a couple of week! Weeks?? How long does it take to fax something??? Maybe a minute. Anyway, I'll update as soon as I hear something.

I had my EGD done this morning and the doctor said everything looked fine. So now I have to wait for the paperwork to reach Dr. Freeman's office. Hopefully it should all be there by the end of the week. After that, its just time to wait until the 13th of January when we will be leaving for pre-op. I also have a doctor's appointment unrelated to WLS that I hope goes well. It is for my soriasis. Maybe the can give me something for that. Mama's EGD is in the morning, and she is scared about it, but I told her everything will be fine. I don't even remember the procedure. Anyway, I will write again to keep updated.

Went to see the breathing doctor and he said everything is fine for the anesthesia. Tomorrow, well in a few hours, I go for the EGD. I hope everything goes ok. Im a little scared about it, but I am ready at the same time. I just need this surgery. Mama goes for her EGD Wednesday and I have to tell her if it hurts or not. I don't think it will, but you never know. I've heard you are completely asleep when they do it, so if we are, that will be good. Anyway, I will update tomorrow about the EGD.

We have a date set for the surgery now. January 18th, 2010. I have been feeling a little nervous in the past few days, but I know that I need this done. I go to see the breathing doctor about my O2 stats the 14th of December. Then on the 15th I will be having the EGD and the day after my mother will be having her's. She is having the surgery with me on the same day. After that, its just the waiting game until the 14th when we go for Pre-Op. Then four days later is the surgery. I can't wait. I am ready to start my new life.

The H. Pylori test for me was negative again. My PFT was ok but the blood gas that they took was a few points off what it should be. So, another doctor has to look at it to make sure it is ok to put me under anesthesia. I am suppose to hear from them tomorrow and hopefully they will say everything is ok. If my EGD on the 15th is ok, they have given us a general timeline as to what we will be doing. The first week in January we will go for Pre-Op and roughly one week afterwards we will have the surgery. So I hope everything with the EGD is fine.

I had my PFT and H. Pylori test today. Won't know the results for a couple of days, but at least its done. They had to take a Blood Gas for the PFT and that hurt a good bit. Anything is better than living like this though. I want to get out and do stuff so bad it is killing me. My wife just doesnt understand how bad this feels. I know she loves me and would do anything for me, but you can't really understand this feeling unless you have been here and she hasn't. I just want to get in the car and ride. It makes me feel like I am at least moving around some. But I guess I will just have to wait.

Well, turns out we have to send the H Pylori test off to a lab, so I have to do that again. I have it set for the same day as my breathing test. My EGD is set for December 15th, so it will be the first of the year before we can go to pre-op and have the surgery. I have been feeling a little better the last few days. I just get so bored sitting here with nothing to do. I hope that the time passes by quick.

Went to my family doctor today and was tested for H. Pylori and it was negative. I was really relieved that I didn't have it. That's one step closer to having the actual surgery. Now I just have to wait until Monday until I get my referal to the hospital for the breathing test and the light they are going to have to run down to my stomach. I just can't wait. I am tired of being like this. Not being able to do anything. I want to get out and go places, to have fun like a normal 25 year old. With all this weight on I don't even feel like moving out of bed. When I do get out of bed I feel so awful that I want to get back in bed as quick as I can. That is not a life. I want something more.
