Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  My little update on me.
OK I went and had a MRI done today on my hip. It sure it nice to know people in the health care field and get them to pull strings and have them do test after normal hours. If any of you have never had a MRI it don't hurt. But if you got something that is hurting like your hip or back or something like that you have to lay on good luck! Im A TOUGH old bird. Well I get on that table. Its a open one of course because of my weight. I lay down and try to get comfortable. Well when you got a hip hurting ya nothing is really comfortable. I have to put my toes together touching each other so it will open the hip joint up so they can get a clear picture. They tape my feet like this now.They place this little ball on my stomach and say OK if you need something or you are hurting I push this ball and let us know and we will come right in. Well i have to hit the ball. They c come in and say mam you have 12 Min's left to go just hang on. Im in a cold sweat from the pain. I said ok....but listen....... Im really hurting and if this cant be done today they will just have to figure out something later because I don't know if i can take anymore. I get scooted in again and man I have headphones on. Im counting the songs that are being sung and say to myself OK there all about 2 and a half minutes long. I do what I can and hold on. I start breathing my old birth breaths I was taught 22 years ago. They come told me it was over. Im not kidding you , my hair was soaking wet, my shirt, and my pants. I just lay there and moved my butt over a tad and couldn't get up. After a few minutes I made my self set up. I have never in my life had so much pain and you cant move because if you do they have to start the dang thing over. This test is just 30 minutes long. I have had them before on my knee. No problem. So now I wait on the results. When they do come in then what? LOL. I still haven't got my orders for my C-pap yet to get started on it. They have the studies but are taking a good long time to get the order out the to DME place to get the dang thing filled. Ms Vickie is going off tomorrow I can feel it ! LOL. They promised me 7-10 days its been 15. I have 2 days to stop my 3 puffs a day habit. Yes smoking but only 3 puffs a day. I don't mean whole cigarettes. If i can find a way to make it 10 more working days with my boss..... then...... he will be on vacation for a week then Im off on vacation for 6 working days. Only have to go back 2 days then my surgery. So ...... Im almost there. Many of you haven't felt well and i feel bad when I complain. I hope your all doing well and better now. Just listen to the Dr's advice and you should do fine. Yall are calling them now and Im so proud of ya. Again this board is a lifesaver for Alot of people in here me included. Thank you all for the support you have given me and the support i know yall will continue to offer. Take care my friends Vickie |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Vickie, Please don't feel bad about "complaining". We all need someone we can talk to who understands that we just need to vent. You've been through a horrible experience and we want you to feel that you can share it with us. You've been there for so many people, give us the chance to be there for you. Even tough old birds need some Tender Lovin' Care - maybe more so, because they get it so seldom. You take care and come here to vent all you want. Barb |

Lay down those cigarettes. I laid them down 5 years ago and it was tough, but you know what? I got really ticked. I was in the fetal position the first night crying and I said to myself, "Whatever is in these cigarettes that is making a 29 year old woman lie in her bed crying, I don't want anymore of it." I know, easier said than done, but pray hard, Vickie and I will pray for you. Get you some sunflower seeds and chomp on them if you have to.
