Time to submit to the insurance company!

Dec 16, 2009

We went to the doctors yesterday. We have finished everything. All the doctors cleared both of us. They didn't have the results of my sleep study yet, but that is ok. Heather's Vit. D level was slightly low, but not like mine which is extremely low. He said a multi vit would be fine to take care of her. In my bloodwork they finally got the results back about my clotting factors. It was positive for having a clotting factor. Which means I could throw a clot at anytime, and during surgery I have an 8% higher risk of throwing a clot. He told me I have to go have a filter put in. They cut your leg like they would with a heart catherization and let the filter go into the Inferior vena cava. So I will have to have this done first. I don't know yet if it stays in there permanently or what. I also asked him about my adhesions that the surgeon who did my gallbladder surgery in Sept. said were a lot. He said yes it will make the surgery harder for him, but he will still do it. He said to make things easier would be to lose some more weight. I have managed to keep about 25 lbs off. He doesn't want to do our surgeries the same day. He wanted them to be at least a month apart. I fussed about it and he said at least 2 weeks. At first I said Heather could go first,but I think I should first so she can see wha t I am going through. She has desided to have the RNY bypass also.
We should know in a few weeks. They said it will be beginning to mid January
