update.

Ahh. I havent been on here in awhile. So.. well. i was diagnosed with type2 diabetes, and hypothyroidism. awesome. <-- insert sarcasm there. -- anywho. so my metformin was upped to 1000 twice a day, and im' now on synthroid.. among all my other numerous medications. i feel like my grandma. she died at 60 somthing from obesity issues.. liver/kidney stuff, type2 diabetes, cardiomyopothy, etc etc etc... she had about as many meds as i have to take now. i swore t omyself id never let myself get this far.. but i gues i did. at least i'm on the right track to get healthier now. <3

i just had my 3rd appointment with the wls team at the hospital.. it went good. i have lost or maintained weight every time ive seen them, since the beginning.. (I thank the new higher medications.. but everyone says some of the other changes ive made have helped.. so.. yeah. haha). it went good. the nurse practitioner sent off the final letter to insurance on friday.. i have medicaid, they're the ones that agreed to cover it in the first place. but then now they have to send off like a final confirmation letter. so i hope they approve it<3 they said once they get the approval my surgery could be in 3 weeks.

OH. and i found out i have sleep apnea. i got the results from my sleep study. no one thought i had it. my moms a nurse and shes like 'you dont have sleep apnea you don't snore you sleep fine' but... i do? i love being right with her.. especially about medical stuff.. haha. i thought i had it.. and i did. not that its a good thing.. but yeah. at least i knwo i have it now.

andddddd i mentioned ot the nurse at my last visit that my ucnle has bloodclots.. glad i did. she ran some more bloodwork and she found somthing.. i forget the name of it.. but some gene taht puts you at high risk for bloodclots. she said it shouldnt mess up my surgery at all, they'd just have to take extra precautions..

Met a few people in the same program that i'm in.. teenagers that have already had, or are going to have, wls. the ones that have already had it look great! seeing them doing so well makes me even more exited for the surgery..

aparently the insurance i ahve has a bond with the hospital/wls program im in.. a lot of kids in the program have the same kinda medicaid i do, and the nurse said they usually respond fast.. I turn 16 at the end of august.. if they respond as fast as they say they do, and its approved.. my surgery could be around my birthday.. i certainly would never forget my 16th birthday then, would i? haha.

well yeah. i hope insurance responds soon. this waiting is killing me.. even though its only been a couple days. haha. <3 kay. i'll try to update a bit more often. ive been pretty busy lately with volunteeering and just enjoying my summer. <3 haha. but yeah. (: thats that.

peacee<3
