New Life Bariatric Center of Amarillo called this afternoon and Dani Howe Dr. Roye’s receptionist set up an appointment with me to see Watson P. Roye Jr. MD on August 8^th at 10 am. I will finally get to meet my surgeon… I am so thrilled; I thank our good Lord for making this happen this soon. I have my Psyche Evaluation tomorrow at 9 am for the written and then the visit with Dr. Kenneth McTague E, PHD at 1 pm to finish up my Bariatric Evaluation. This starts my counting down … 21 days to go - to meet my WLS, then 2 weeks on a 1,000 calorie diet and (waiting for approval from Aetna in this 2 week period) then a possible surgery date of August 22^nd? This is just a wishing guess…LOL. I’m almost there… can’t wait to be on the LOSERS SIDE, oh I have no patience!

Having a heart cath is no picnic… but in all honesty, it wasn’t that painful. The hardest part was having to be still and lay flat on my back and not raise up my head or legs for an hour. God is so good and answered all the prayers said in my behalf. Quoting my cardiologist Dr. Monte Slatton “He evaluated me and said I see NO active cardiac contraindications that would preclude surgery and anesthesia in this patient.” He approved my request for Bariatric Surgery! I would like to thank you all for your prayers and support and friendship. I have 1 more month with my Dietician and the last test will be my Bariatric Evaluation with a Psychiatrist on July 17^th. Then all I will be waiting for is my appointment to meet my WLS surgeon Watson Roye, Jr. He will be accepting new patients August 1^st! The waitng game begins once again, LOL!
