Topic: Sleep Test
OK so yesterday I had a letter come in the mail with a Date of October 6 at the Health Sciences for my sleep test. Today I get a letter with an appointment for a sleep test on July 19 at St. Claires for my sleep test and another letter with an Appointment with Dr. Fox for August 4. So I call the number on the letter for the sleep test and she said my appointment had been moved up because they wanted me to have the test before my surgery. I explained that I had to come in from Grand Falls and would like to do this in one trip and that I would be out of the province on August 4 anyway. It took a little bit of work but we finally settled on July 25 for my sleep study and July 26 for the appointment with Dr. Fox.
I asked her if she knew when my surgery was scheduled for be she said it would depend on the results of the sleep test.
Now I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

Topic: RE: sleep apnea
Not doing so well on the diet. I was doing really good in the beginning until my son came home from the sitters with some cupcakes he had made himself. He really wanted me to have one so I ended up having three. Since then I haven't been able to get my head into it. I started again yesterday and promised myself I would tough it out for one week. I will deal with next week when next week comes. The two things that are getting me are chocolate and chocolate/vanilla twist soft serve ice cream on a waffle cone. I am an admitted chocoholic and once I eat it a couple of days in a row then I crave it every day. I have to force myself not to touch it for a couple of days and then I'm OK for a few months. Normally I'm not an ice cream person but its actually the waffle cone thats really good. Everyone in my family loves them and the kids ask for them every day. Yesterday I managed to say no to both the chocolate and the ice cream so if I can stay away for another day or two I should be OK.

Just got my appointment for my sleep study for October 6. I guess that means my surgery won't be until at least late Ocotber or November. 
Oh, well at least that gives me a little more time to lose the 30 pounds I want gone before surgery.

Topic: RE: Any new clinics or appointments for consultations?
Some encouranging news!!! My friend has an appointment for December.. I myself Have had 2 sleep studies as of now, the first at the Health Sciences was much more technical then the second at St. Clares. As the machine didnt work right the first time, I have to see Dr Farrell on Monday coming to get the results of the second study. I have no idea where it goes from there but I was told I was going to be the next up for surgery in July.. My fingers are crossed that it is soon for I can not wait to start my journey to a healthy me... Best wishes!

Ohhhh, I didn't know the office was closed. Must be taking their holidays.
Maybe you can call clinic1 at the HSC. and ask them when Dr. pace will
be having another clinic. That's where my appointment was.

Hi Newfie02: You must be a lot taller than me. I started at 331 lbs. and my BMI was 61.
He told me he likes the patients BMI to be under 60. That's why he asked me to lose
30 lbs.before surgery. Plus, it shows him that you are serious about losing the weight
and not wasting his time or my own.
P.S. Anyone know how to change this meter thing, when I lose some weight ???
