Prelim. Appts Set Up

I have my appts with the Nurse Practitioner and Dietician at OHSU on Tuesday, 2/20/07 and my appt for the psych eval on 3/1/07. Looks like things are getting started, I'm very excited to get underway. Shirley

Good for you Shirley! They still need to call me with my psych appointment. It would have been nice to do it on the same day as the other two, but it's okay. Congratulations! Linda

How exciting! The time will fly and before you know it you will be on the losers bench!

Trust me ladies, you want to do your psych evaluation seperatly. It is 366? questions long just to answer the questionaire. It takes several hours & is kind of exhausting. At least it was for me.......as I have sleep apnea. Good luck! I have my pre-op appointments this Friday........more hours of testing! Looking forward to the surgery, so I can get some sleep!!!

Congrats my friend. Randy

Good luck to you! I know this is one of the most challenging times -- plenty of nerves and emotion. You're almost there. Keep up the dedication! Lori

Aright way to go. Your appts on Tuesday will take about 2 1/2 hours. I had to have another blood draw and that took another half hour, so it will be along appt day. The phy eval tests I had two the 366 question one and a food one it was about 50 questions they take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. They send the one off and you make another appt. I did anyway, the second appt was about an hour or so. So you will be happy they are one different days. (I seen spots before my eyes for hours after the tests,and my hands wanted to make little circles too, ha-ha) Best of luck CJ

Congrats Shirley! That's wonderful to hear. Things are moving along and that rocks. Good luck, Michele
