    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

I went to see Dr. Argotte for my initial consultation on 1/25/07.  I had to fill out several pages of paperwork to bring in.  Documenting all the diets you have been on since high school is very difficult.  They tested me for H. Pylori, I don't have it, thank goodness.  They also did an EKG which was normal, yeah!  I then got to speak with the PA and she went over some of the paperwork and asked a few questions.  Next came Dr. Argotte.  He went over how the operation works and what  the program there was designed to do.  I still haven't decided whether to have the lap-band or the RNY.  My husband wants me to do the lap-band.  They scheduled me for an overnight sleep study on 2/26/07, and then the next morning I will have a stress echo, and a pulmonary function test and then to the lab for bloodwork.  I will get to go get something to eat, then its over to Dr. Argotte's office for a body fat analyzation, a metabolism test.   The dietian's office called to set up my 6 month weight management classes and a nutrition assessment.  So they scheduled my psych evaluation and nutrition assessment for the same day, 2/15/07.  Since I was already going to be there on 2/27 for my other tests, etc., they decided to schedule my first weight management class.  I am really excited to get everything going.  The PA mentioned that my PCP would need to really document each time I go there for my 6 month physician supervised weight loss plan, so I scheduled an appointment with them on 2/6 for bloodwork so that they will have a starting point to compare to.  I will let you know what happens next.  Tabitha
