Progress toward surgery...

May 11, 2011

Well things are moving along as well as can be expected. I saw my PCP on Friday for my annual (was WAY overdue) and we had a nice chat. She fully supports me in this and says she will help in any way she can. I had labs drawn and all in all they dont look too bad. Cholesterol was under 200 (197total) and this is good since last time it was 248! Fasting glucose only 86. I guess avoiding the processed food these last few months has helped some. My thyroid issues are under good control.  I have a psych eval appt tomorrow and I am actually looking forward to this. The psychologist has a whole program in my little podunk town that he devotes to bariatric patients so I feel welcome and understood. I have my sleep consult on 5/20 and sleep study on 5/26. Once these are done I can be submitted to insurance. I CAN'T WAIT! My only worry is that I begin a new job next monday and I am afraid of what my need for time of in a couple of months will do to this, but my health has to come first, right? I guess I will just wait and see what happens, but my surgeon said because it is a desk job I shouldn't need a boatload of time off barring any complications of course. Wish me luck!
