Little by little...

Jul 08, 2008

Little by little I will get there.  Today I got to check off my list - chest xray, bloodwork, urinalysis. Tuesday I have to go for my upper GI xray & ultrasound of my gallbladder. Yeah! It's nice to see stuff moving along.

So the next things I will need to get is - cardio clearance & EKG, pulmo clearance, psych, dietician/exercise specialist. Then I will be on the fast track to surgery!


Yeah!!

I kinda changed it up & got lucky! I was able to get go to the seminar last week & was able to see the surgeon too due to a cancellation. It all went wonderful. I can't believe how amazing his staff is! Dr. Salimath is so funny & has a great personality as well as knowing his stuff. He gave me 2 options......RNY or VSG. I was so happy he gave me the option of the VSG.

I have to say though.....I really knew so much about it all that the seminar was just a prelimary thing I had to do. So I have my papers & I am off to have my testing done which is xrays, ultrasound of my gallbladder, bloodwork & cardio & pulmonologist clearance. I should have a few appts set up by the end of this week and I am so happy that things are moving forward a little now. I have been waiting for a few months just to get to this point.


Delay

Jun 01, 2008

Well my seminar & date to see the surgeon got bumped back to July now due to the dr had a family emergency. I am bummed. I have to admit it. It's not the end of the world or anything but I am still bummed. It just delays me a month more from getting the surgery but I'm sure it couldn't be helped. I am trying to look at it like the old saying goes.....everything happens for a reason.

So my new appt is July 8th for the seminar & July 9th to see the dr.

Upcoming Stuff

I have my seminar to attend on June 10th then my meeting with the surgeon on June 11th to see if this is the place I want to go or surgery I would like to have. I am going to Peoria to see Dr. Salimath. He has only had wonderful things said about him so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will love him too!
