Ugh. Blood work.

I just got my bloodwork done last week for my first upcoming appointment with the nurse practitioner. I'm super excited about the appointment; on my way! But also really disappointed by my blood work. My glucose fasting is elevated for the first time, and my A1C is elevated too. I think they are technically into the diabetic stage.

Ugh. That really bums me out. I guess this is the perfect time to get the surgery, but I was hoping to do this before i got to that stage. Now it'll be remission, not avoiding.

Hoping more than ever I can speed this along!

I have nurse May 24, Social worker in mid June, and then nutrition class June 19.

What are the next things that happen through TWH?

Thanks!

Hi Amzmommy!

I had my orientation last week; Wednesday. They handed out our first three appointments at the end. My appointments were scheduled for August and September, but I called on Thursday morning to see if I could get any cancellations and got the May and June dates. I've already done all my paperwork and blood tests (hence this post - ugh).

So yeah, calling for cancellations is amazing! The lady I spoke with was at my orientation the night before and was so lovely and happy to help. I get the feeling from everyone I've spoken with they really do want to support us.

When is your orientation?
