Ohhhhh so close.....

Hi all. Yesterday I got a good report from the cardiologist. Heart looked good, no blockages etc, no reason why I can't have surgery. He is going to put me on a med for my heart rate (which has always run between 90-100) more as a pre op strengthening /preventitive measure. Today I got the green light from the pulmonologist. He is going to adjust the pressure on my Bi-pap because I can't leave it on at night. (I don't know why, I wake up and there it lays...... ) He thinks maybe I am not tolerating the pressure. My pulmonary function tests are all greatly improved. So I see him again in 2 weeks but he was going to call Dr G's office and tell them to schedule me. yeeee haaaawwww So now all I SHOULD have to do is tie up the financial lose ends. I have never wanted to receive a bill so bad........ I don't know whether to call and pester them, or let it happen when it happens....... AND..... I have lost 11 pounds in the last 3 weeks!!!!! I have been watching what I eat but I think it is the Bi-pap machine. The nurse at the pulm office said it makes a BIG difference. So.....just a little more patience..... hugs to all Sheila

All right Sheila You are almost there girl Go ahead give them a call! I sure would be! Keep us posted on what's going on, won't be long & you'll be on the losing side of life Carolyn

WooHOO You will be a loser before you know it!! Isn't crazy we actually enjoy being called Losers......lol!!! I too always run a high pulse.....even now after losing 130lbs....after surgery my pulse was always 105-110.....they were worried for days about that one, but it is just me.....even after my hysto in Oct, again high pulse! But I told it was normal and not to be worried!! It is funny my resting heart rate is higher than most people active heartrate......I will probably need meds for it when I get older but right now I am doing okay! 11lbs in three weeks is great......keep up the good work.....take care! Jesi

Wowza, Sheila, It won't be long now at all. You will have to keep us updated when they schedule the surgery! What a wonderful loss! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your next post! God bless, Andrea
