After a big  disappointment on 7/2 and not having surgery, I had to redo some tests.  Mainly the Echo, and the stress test.  Well that's finished, and thankfully everything has worked out well.  I saw Dr. Williams yesterday and I'm rescheduled for RNY on Tuesday, 7/29.

I can't wait!  I'm so anxious to start this new phase of my life!

Well, I was admitted on 6/30 for a vena cava filter and everything went off like a charm.  I was admitted into the hospital since I was having RYN the next day.  I noticed that my shoulders were pretty tight, but just assumed I had pulled something over the weekend.  So all of Monday and into Monday night/Tuesday morning the pain over my shoulders got increasingly worse and OMG unbearable.  When they wheeled me down to pre-op they asked me if I was feeling any pain anywhere.  I said yes and explained that now it was across the front of my chest at my collor bone.  WELL!  That's all I needed to say.  I tried to explain that it was tension and to just put me under and all would be fine, but because my BP was high the Drs ran EKG, and weren't happy.  Long story short and sad , , , there was no surgery that day.  What I did get for all my trouble of not having anything to eat since Sunday night, and all the tension was a wicked and I mean wicked migraine.  

I'm home now (7/2) and have to have cardio done again, and then reschedule surgery.  Needless to say I'm not pleased.  I know it's for the best and the Drs. were making sure there was no heart problem, but right now I'm just feeling frustrated.

This is my first time on a blog anywhere and I really don't know where to start.  It's only 6 days till my RNY and I'm beginning to get really nervous.  I know I'm not sleeping well, and that's not helping either.  I'm not anxious about the surgery itself, but about after.  I've never liked the unknown and I know I will be fine once I'm in it, but the whole "what to eat, how much to drink, when to take my meds, etc." is beginning to freak me out!
