Since my weight is climbing each day instead of dropping Im not sure when all this will take place. :(  Im soooooo tired!!!

Not feeling so good :(

Aug 07, 2011

I felt pretty good when I got up this morning (5 am) however long about 10:00 am i started feeling a little spacey tounge was tingeling ... I started getting the feeling like I get when I have a panic attack. I just relaxed in my chair while my hubby was showering close by!  It wasant going away so I thought I would do my usual check my b/p and my blood sugar! I did my b/p first and it was 90/53. It sort of scared me so. My usual is 120/73.  I thought maybe I need to drop one of my b/p meds like I did before when I lost a chunk of weight. I thought maybe I needed to eat as I felt a little weak so I went down and made myself breakfast. When my hubby came down I told him and he said if it didnt come up in a bit we would need to go to ER.  So I ate and he made me eat a little sweets to bring up my b/s.  I took my b/p about an hour after eating and it read 126/59.  Hmmm!!! I mellowed a bit and just rolled with it because I did not want to go to the ER. I felt a little better until I ate about 1:00 pm. My stomach started hurting a bit. Finally about 4:30pm I went up to my room and took my b/p and it was down again 100/53! So I guess I will be calling my PCP in the morning! UG!!! Well thats all for now! Anyone out there ever have this happen?

The Weight Thing

My scale by the way is digital, new, and is the same as the Drs at Kaiser! So, what in the world is going on??? Oh and I hear everyone talking about hair loss, well I have already been loosing mine by the handfulls every time I wash it!!! I can now put it in a pony with a hair clamp! This is HUGE as I have never in my life been able to do that! So you see I will call when I hit 217 (new required weight)  knowing that the next morning  It will most likely be up from that!!! Again the montra of the Coordinator at Kaiser Fremont Bariatric:
" IF YOU GAIN EVEN 1 POUND YOUR SURGERY WILL BE CANCLED" !!! Any suggestions about what is going on with me ???

HELP! PLEASE!

Jun 21, 2011

I cant breath while wearing c-pap mask!!! Within 5-10 minutes of falling asleep I wake, gasping for air!!!  I remove the mask and sleep for 7-8 hrs uninterupted!!! It is like having wind in your face to the point of taking your breath away!!! I was told by the Coordinator of Fremont Bariatric that if I dont get the c-pap then Dr Hahn will not do my surgery! Also I was told I had to bring it to the Hospital with me and it is to be used after surgery!!! This makes me nerveous, as I thought a Hospital was equipt with the knowledge and supplies to handel something as minor as this, "IF" anything were to transpire!!! One of my Daughters said, "Mom just jump through the hoops". My sleep Apnea is labeled "Obstructive", due to the excess LBS. The sleep apnea will go away with the weight!!! Im in such turmoil over this and cant see my way out! Im asking for ALL who have advice!!!!
