the last step before scheduling a date

I just finished the stress test and echogram that Dr. C wanted due to a slight blip on my EKG. Both went fine. A slight enlarged vein coming out ouf my heart that might be due to me being a big person. The heart doctor (Dr. Payment) said at least we have in documented and can refer back to this check to see how it looks in two years or so. The stress test was 9 minutes. My HR got to 170. He wrote a report and was going to fax it to Adam today so I hope to get in and get my consult with Dr. C so a DATE CAN BE SET. I told my DW that I will take the first date available. My hat is off to all of you in your efforts to pursue WLS. The closer it gets the more neverous I get. I get so much out of the support group meetings. I try (and recommend) that each of us meet at least one new person at each meeting. If you are like me, I just want to make a difference in world some how some way. Get involed some how some way in a support group..... Best Wishes Ralph

Hey Ralph! I've missed you and your dw! We had a great support group meeting at UMC last night - and even tho you are Dr C's patient, you are always welcome to come and visit with us! We had 12 members from our MS board there. It was great! You will do fine. I know I will get nervous if I EVER get a date, but we will both be fine! You take care, and don't be a stranger! Smoochers, Arlies
