~ Almost there ~

So, yesterday I had the consult with the vascular surgeon to put the ivc filter in. He did an ultrasound of my neck to check the vein and even gave me a picture of it :) although I am still not sure what exactly I am looking at when I look at the picture haha but nonetheless it is pretty kewl! He said the veins look really good and that I had a small neck **hehe** but he said that was a good thing :)

I signed the paperwork for him to do the placement. Very nice man. I was very pleased with him and impressed! As we were finishing up our session he said he liked to pray with his patients and asked me if it would be alright - Well Heck Yeah- It was alright! That was my sign that God has placed me in this mans care for a reason.

Well, I still don't have a date though, But I am not discouraged! Dr. Blaney ( the one who will do the gastric bypass) is out of town this week and will be back next week so they have to wait on his office to schedule the pre-op and the surgery and then I will go in between those 2 dates to have the filter put in. They did assure me that it will be within the month of March as they have said before!

I am so ready for this next chapter in this long life changing journey!

Teresa, sounds like your surgery is just around the corner.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks.  Keep us up to date on your plans for surgery.  March is just a few days away.  Soooooo close.

We are here to share the journey with you.  Hugs

one step closer to surgery.  WoooHoo. Before you know it you will be starting your new life.   All I can say abou thte MD is WOW.  You dont find many like him anymore.  So glad for you that you found him. 

Take care and hope you are having a great week so far.

I am so glad I have yall here as well as my support here at home and in my church. Dr. Jones was amazing and the whole team of doctors at Trinity WL and Midtown Surgical are awesome!

I will def keep yall posted on the dates coming up :) 

I am having a pretty good week. I didn't do much today but rest. My feet are still swollen and I am just puffy all over, still have a rash and blotchiness/itching - took an oatmeal bath tonight which helped sooth it a little bit not much else I can do since it's due to my liver  and the Hep C.

Hope yall are having a good week !!
