Pulmonary Appt.

Well today I seen Dr. Jones the Pulmonary doctor. And the appt. went ok I guess???? Sleep Apnea of course I have to get a "sleep study" done....(just waiting for SleepCare) to contact me in about a week or so.....And Dr. Jones also thinks I may be asthmaic (slightly). I left there thinking mmmmm is surgery going to be for me or not. So I don't have clearence from him as of yet. I'll keep you guys posted...The journey continues... Shay a/k/a Snuggles

I have asthma and, as I understand it, that serves as a comorbidity that helps justify the surgery. I'm looking forward to getting off my asthma meds once I've lost the weight. . . not to mention being able to sleep on my back, take bubble baths, cross my legs, . . . oops, I'm getting a bit side-tracked.

Hello, I wouldn't worry about the asmtha thing. I had sarcoidosis and my pulmonologist still passed me. If anything weight loss will relieve the effects. Hope

Shay, Good luck no matter what. Just be patient. Ken

Shay, Another step ... in you road. Keep trodding on ... I believe you will get there. I felt the same way when I had trouble getting clearance from my cardiologist. But I kept on pushing on and finally made it. Hugs, Tammy
