3rd down tonight

going for third class meaning there are only 9 more left , cool huh!!! I had the ecocardiagam done this morning , everything ok so far will find out more on monday about the stress and todays  test. Tonight i will get the names for the phyc doc and the sleep aphnea test so i can get them out and done with you all were right its moving right along , one of bosses freaking out but she is not really my boss as long as he does not care about doc apts i dont sweat it. dont even want to tell her im having gastric bypass she just is too skinny or just uncaring on people who cant loose weight on thier own and her poor husband is a big man lol and a real sweetheart. I just tell her im having my intestines worked on again not her business is it?

Great progress! When it is all ahead of you it seems like so much to do. But as you go through it and more and more of the steps are behind you, you really feel a sense of accomplishment. I know my resolve got stronger and stronger as I went through the process.

Best Wishes!

actually it doesnt deb cause i have done it all before just to be disapointed, i guess i just go monday find out about  the ekg stress and ecocardiagram and go on from there  the class is just someing for me to do at nights lol as i have no life hardly lol just joking i dont go anywhere much so its a night out lol seems like its rolling on a long now.

That's great news, Helen!!!!  Those 9 will be gone before you know it!!!

My psych eval was done by Dr. Harvey Gerwanter, across from Franklin Square Hospital.  The whole appt. lasted no longer than 30 minutes and I was given the green light by him.  He was really nice.  I had my sleep study done at FSHC also, but make no mistake about it, it SHOULD be called the "sleepless study."  Make sure you don't have anything important to do the next day, because you'll be tired!!!  LOL!!  The staff was great, as were the accommodations, but it's just really hard to sleep hooked up to so much. 

Again, it's all a means to an end, and I know you're willing to do whatever it takes to get wls, so keep plugging along!!

As far as co-workers, nope, it's no one's business.  Actually, thanks to HIPAA laws, it's unlawful for your employer to question you about anything medical related.  I told VERY FEW of my co-workers, and later found out that my boss (??!!!!!) had shared details with others.  It's a personal decision, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!!

Hugs,

Tia

Keep in mind that your employer may need you to file paperwork to take leave, but your HR Department KNOWS they have to keep it confidential.
