I HAVE A DATE!!!!! WOO HOO!!
Hi all,
I am so happy! I had my consult with the surgeon yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for August 8th 2006. They may move it up if something is able to be done but it is set for now. I am so excited about it and am kind of in a whirlwind.
Now I have to really get serious. She said it would be good if I lost 10-15 pounds, and to do the best I can. Now I have to get through all the tests, when Karen was explaining them all to me my eyes just glazed over and I stared into space 8-l as it was a lot of information thrown at me, but I think I have it all sorted now. I already have my sleep study scheduled for June 29th and will work on the other things in the mean time.
I'M GONNA BE A LOSER! I'M GONNA BE A LOSER!!!!
I have a date with dr li on July 11, 2006-- i too am waiting for something to open up- i am self pay- and i have had all the tests done already- sleep study ,psych exam, labs, echo cardiogram, chest xray and pcp referral letter. I really hope she can take me in June- I too am excited. I am currently working out 6 days a week and have totally adjusted my diet- I am down 7 pounds- i go to a personal trainer 3 times a week for an hour and a half i walk 3 miles 2 days a week and i ride my bike 4-5 miles on the sixth day-- On saturday i dont do nothing remotley related to exercise!!! I fell good just moving around and doing something and not just talking about doing something. Good luck and see you on the losing side-- I look forward to this time next year when i dont have to "hide" my arms and back in big shirts and can wear something more weather appropriate. TINA
