Had my psych eval. 5/28 and they didn't keep me, so I guess that was a good sign...lol...
I think it went well... The psychiatrist was extremely nice, very easy to talk too and was very, very easy to look at... :o)  
So, Im am done with my testing... Just have the two classes to attend on June 10th and 11th.. I will be calling my surgeons office on the 12th to remind that everything is complete and hopefully they will submit for surgery right away... so excited !!! 
        Trying to stay positive :) 
July would be a good time to have surgery since my 13 yr old will be out of school.. He can be mom's lil' helper ( well not so lil' these days, he's passed me in height by a couple inces..haha)

I went to my CPAP machine training class today..... Oh joy !! I should be starting my machine tonight but "OOpppsss" I forgot to buy distilled water...
As much as I dont really want to use the thing I know that I need to at least try.... I'll give it a whirl tomorrow night and let ya all know how it works out....    :o)

Hugggsssss ...

I had my cardio exam today.... It went very well.. I was quite impressed with Inland Cardio here in Upland.. I was in and out of there within a hour and everyone was so nice... 
Had both an  EKG and echocardiogram .. They showed Im good to go for surgery :) Doctor gave clearance....

Only Psych eval and 2 classes left before submittal .... yipppeeeee !!

Ohhhhh, I did get a call a few days ago from The Apnea Center, my PCP ordered me a CPAP machine to wear every night...   :( yuck !! 
I got my mask today in the mail and I have to take a class on the 31st on how to work the machine... Lucky me... 
I don't think that I can wear it but I will do my best to at least try...

Have a SUPER  Memorial Day weekend ..... Stay safe  :o)

I had my surgeon consult 5/13. I think it went real well.. I really got a good positive feeling from the surgeon, his assisitant and the entire staff. I have already started my pre-testing.. This is what they require before we can submit to insurance for surgery....

Upper GI & Gallbladder ultrasound  (done)
clearance from Cardiologist  (appt may 23)
clearance from primary doctor (done)
evaluation from Dietician/Nut (done)
Pysch evaluation (may 28)
watch video online (done)
Two classes  (june 10, 11th)

Yippeee !!! It's looking good :) Keep me in your prayers that all my testing comes back ok...

I had my second sleep study done two nights ago...My fist study showed that I do have a mild case of sleep apnea.. so they requested a 2nd study with me wearing the CPAP machine... It was a very miserable night, but I got through it...Now if they tell me that I have to wear that machine everynight ... I won't be able too.. Just another reason why loosing this weight is SOOOO important...

Alrighty all... Thanks for your support :)

And to all my new OH friends that are post-op.... Keep up the great work :) you are ALL soooo inspiring :) and give so much hope...
