Spent the afternoon

TESTING, Preop with my primary, lab tests done, chest x-ray done. I only have two more things that HAVE to be done, preop with Cathy and Dr A. Primary wants a stress test, (I told her I pass, plenty of stress) for no particular reason, but it might interfer with my Cathy C appt.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad that is all out of the way honey. Now everything else will fly past and before you know it..................we will be dusting off your spot on the losers bench. WOO HOO!!! ;o)

Why does everyone tell me I don't need WLS, 6'3" 311lbs. (I was very bad this weekend in Boston)

Both the tech that drew blood and the x-ray tech said I don't need WLS. But guess what,, I know myself better than they know me.

Sometimes it depends on how you carry your weight. My husband is 6'3" and about 290. He has a belly but he's built like a football player. People never believe how much he weighs.  Same thing goes for me. My weight is distributed all over. I don't have a big belly and chicken legs, I have a big belly and big thighs to match LOL. But since it's spread all over, nurses never put the scale up high enough and I have to tell them to keep going!

Lisa  you sound a lot like me!

Tom they dont understand , I myself get dirty looks from family and friends @ 5'2 200 lbs im so tired and hurt so much, the co morbidites dont help , just remember your not doing it for them its for you.

Tom you really need to meet my hubby.  he's about your height and has over 100 pounds on you and I bet you guys look about the same.  

it really depends on how folks carry their weight...  

Yea we need to get together, I am going to the Eshore Saturday, and Probably Sunday for a launch.

Tom

Yipppeeeeeee!!  You are definitely on your wa Tom!!  I am so excited for you.

Keep us posted!

Thanks everyone, I talked to Chantrell today, all is good. I can go for my stress test, and she will give me a DVD of what Cathy was going to cover. Still on for the 10th
