UPDATE!!!!

I am so sorry I have been out of the loop for a while. Finals for my classes have crept up and I have been studying my behind off.. So Here goes!!!

1. I had my appt @ Norton on the 21st for the initial consultation. Paid my $300.00 and was off to watch the video, see the nutritionist, nurse, and make sure I wasn't CRAZY..LOL
All of that went well, and I found out via my HOSPITAL BAND that I was assigned to Dr. Tanner. Yes, fate dealt me a good card this time. I am very excited!!!

2. I had a Cardiac Stress Test before that appt.. A-OK....

3. I decided to call to Dr. Tanner's office 2 days ago just to see if my file had made it like the ladies said it would. Well, my ultimate goal was to just be noisy and see how long the wait list was for appts. I guess not that long. I have my initial appt on DEC 12th!!! WOW....Iam one step closer to the losers bench the only thing left is the....

4. SLEEP STUDY!!!! I have a consultation with them on the 11th and they said that they schedule studies no more than a week from you initial, So i should be finished with my entire packet besides any other tests that Dr. Tanner should want by the end of December!  :)

As I said before my PCM at Ireland on Fort Knox is a little over zealous and has had me do a lot of small testing already...So I am just utterly excited!!!!

Way to go! You're well on your way.
When I first found out I had to have a sleep study.. I was worried because the hospital was so booked.. They actually put me on a list so if someone canceled I would be the next in line. They really took care of me and it was a breeze.. Some sleep labs really hook you up.. For example I had a full size bed and TV.. the wires and what not are pretty annoying though not unbearable.

Good Luck

Good to see you back on here, wantingtochange!  Congrats on getting Dr. Tanner- heard him speak at support group a month or so ago, and was impressed.  Looks like you're getting closer every day to your WLS.  Hang in there!  The sleep study for me was over a year ago & now a distant memory.  Not exactly my idea of a good night's sleep, but it got me one  big step closer to surgery.  Haven't used cpap machine since right before surgery and glad that's gone.  Best of good wishes to you as you go through finals, at school and preparation for surgery!

YES YEAAA for you ,sleep study is easy ,be put on the waiting list for sure for any cancellation because like the lady said before they were all booked up for a while ,best of luck you are now on your way

Thats awesome news congrats!!!!
Thats great that your PCM was Proactive and got things going for you!!!
