Cardiologist is on Board with WLS

I had a follow up appt. with my cardiologist yesterday since I finished Cardiac Rehab. I asked him what he thought of WLS for me and after a short conversation about the risks involved, he agreed that this was the right road for me to take. My heart is definitely strong enough. His requirements are to wait a year after the heart attack (May 2007) and that I have a stress test and other tests. Fine by me! You know, after others in my life being so negative about WLS for me (you're not big enough, it's too risky, you've lost weight before) I was starting to worry that my Drs. would not think that WLS is for me. Quite the contrary, they all believe it is a good choice for me. Rachelle

that is great news. Taking things one day at a time is a good thing to do, but it sounds like soon you will be able to have wls. I am happy for you Take care Erin

I'll jump with you Rachelle!!!! So happy for you! Your patience though the whole process has been a real inspiration to me. Steve

Thanks so much Steve! I try to keep in mind that I want this surgery for my health (being a smaller size is definitely a bonus!). So, how's things with you? Rachelle
