Fast Track
Wow, things are really moving along! met with the surgeon last Monday, Jan 28, 2013 and asked if I could go on a cancellation list as I am currently laid off and need to go back to work sometime in April. they called me last Thursday and I was able to see the SW, RN, RD, Internist and have my PATT done yesterday at HRRH! Dr. Glazer (the internist) said everything looked good and I wouldn't need any additional tests (they did an EKG). Now just waiting for the Surgeon (Dr. Klein) to call with his second appointment where I sign consent and purchase optifast. I was really nervous as I'm not a spring chicken (turning 56 on Feb 20) but I guess I'm in pretty good shape except for the newly diagnosed diabetes and a BMI of 46. Still scared though....thanks for listening!
