Final Clearance!

So I had been delayed from my original surgery date at the end of April due to a sleep study and a delay in getting an appointment to the pulmonolgist in the first place. Sleep study was done. I have sleep apnea. I've gotten my CPAP. I now sleep with it every night.

Last Tuesday the Pulmonologist finally cleared me, then I went to PMRI to get final clearance. I was nervous because I hadn't been weighed in 6 weeks....but I had actually lost 10 lbs in that period. I am now down 60 lbs to 453 since January. That's a big victory and a sign that I am going the right direction.

Final pre-surgery consult with Dr. Wynn on Tuesday, then it's up to Aetna. I hope to get approved soon. I want to know for sure it's showtime on June 22nd ASAP. Cross fingers. 

Fingers are crossed ! You are doing really great and should be so proud. Hang in there. Waiting is the hardest part. See you lighter. Joanne

Best of luck to you.
This will be well worth the wait!
Having the surgery was the best thing I ever did for MYSELF.
Just remember everything you learned and work the tool like you should and you'll do great!
Keep us posted.
