Hysterectomy.

So the tests came back and I have a tumor in the lining of my uterus.  They took biopsies and looked inside and found numerous smaller tumors in the lining.  Hysterectomy is the next step before I can think about the lapband.  I'm thankful they found it! and more importantly can fix it! Tuesday will be when we get the biopsies back from the lab..Let you know when we have those results...

Messy FUN

Lapband journey...

So hello friends,


I've had many exciting things to talk about...I am enrolled in an on-line school to finish my teaching degree.  YAY! I'm floating through the lessons and exams so far with ease.


I've also begun a weight loss journey.  I'm going to have a lapband placed on the upper part of my stomach. I have started the health testing part of the process.  Last week I had an endoscopy, unltrasound of pelvic and upper torso, and an EKG.  Tommorow I go in for a stress test.  They also called back and told me they found a mass on my ovary.  I go back in on Friday for more tests..thinking it's just a cyst.


The next step is finding a new antipsychotic medicine because the one I'm on now can't be crushed (the first month after surgery is liquids only).  After that I go to a sleep study in the beginning of May.  If all goes well, I will have the surgery at the end of May.  In the meantime, I've started the pre-op diet.


Here is my starting weight photos...I hope to post new pictures every Friday and report any losses or gains.


Love you all my blogging buddies..
