Oh, I am jumping all over the house!! Dr. Patterson's office called today. I have an appointment with Dr. Patterson on May 31st. I am soooo happy I has seemed forever until I would be called. I am ok with the fact the date is at the end of May because I am still working on my 5% weight loss. I weighed in today at the Salem Sleep Center and I have lost 10 pounds since March 27th. I guess drinking all of tha****er is paying off, and cutting portion sizes too. Also, my paperwork won't be sent into my insurance company until I have lost that weight. Bummer!! I got my CPAP machine today and I am looking forward to a good nights sleep I am still shocked that I officially quit breathing 75 times an hour, how frightening. Last but not least I go to out patient surgery on May 2nd for a deep biopsy of those abnormalities that showed up on my latest mammogram.. So wish me luck Sheryl

congradulations! Dr. Patterson did my surgery nearly 2.5 years ago .the time will go by faster than you think. I had no complications and have lost 140lbs. I stay around 155. Try to use the time to prepare yourself mentally. As best you can. good luck Susan.

Congrats. Who knows, getting a good sleep may actually help you lose weight, too. Good luck! Lori

Congrats Sheryl! It is all exciting isn't it? Recently I have gotten butterflies in my stomach. I meet with my doc on Monday and surgery on May 23rd. It's all I can do to stay off this OH Board to get information. I still have 4 very important questions to get answers to, but once I get those answered to my satisfaction, I know the surgery is my choice...I just don't knwo which kind! Stay in contact - Let me know how your progress is going! Gayla
