Pre Op testing and IVC

Hello All SC Crew! Well, my surgery is scheduled for April 25. I have so many things happening now that I have to open my day planner daily to see what is today ...Tues is 4 hr. nutrician class. April 5 is preop testing, ekg, xray, bloodwork, doppler of legs and arteries and whaever else they decide. April 10 is followup with cardiologist since my heart cath, April 18 is placement of IVC (filter to prevent blood clots), and then.....SURGERY!!!! And on the losing side. Thanks for al of you that have profiled so that we who were doing research had a place to check...I know I would never had seriously gone through with it w/o your input. May the Lord bless and keep you and give each of you wisdom to live the new life He has given to each of you. In Him, Joan M

WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER FOR YOU, MS JOAN. THIS IS LIKE THE OLYMPICS OF WEIGHT LOSS ONLY WE ARE ALLLLLLLL WINNERS! NO SECOND PLACE HERE! I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ... NICK & I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON OUR OWN, BUT THE PROFILES MADE THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO VERY PERSONAL. I VOWED TO KEEP MINE UP & DETAILED SO OTHERS COULD HAVE THE SAME WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WE HAD WHEN READING THEM. I STILL READ PROFILES & I'M ALMOST 5 MONTHS OUT. WE NEVER LOSE THE NEED FOR ENCOURAGEMENT. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME! SO, KEEP US POSTED & GOD BLESS YOU! DAWN & NICK

Thanks Dawn, I am excited to be now less than a month away from the losers bench. I pray all those on this board are doing well. The pre and posts...keep researching and follow the rules. In Him, Joan
