Ultrasounds suck!!!
Apr 26, 2007
I had my gall-bladder and liver ultrasound today and it HURT! LOL I wasnt expecting it to be so painful.......the only time I have had a ultrasound in the past was when I was pregnant with my boys and I guess I was too excited to feel any pain. The ultrasound itself doesnt hurt, its all the pressure that they have to use to see my insides clear because of all my FAT! lol So I got one more step closer to my surgery today! : )
Well the doctors appt. went well...........

I met my Local Doctor that will be helping me get all the testing done for my surgery. He is super nice and seems like he will be SUPER helpfull......I expained to him that I really want to get the list that my surgeon gave me completed as soon as possible and by the time I got home my friend (their receptionist) called and said that I already have an appt. for my ultrasound tomorrow morning! So tomorrow I go for my U/S to check out my gall bladder and liver size. And then all I have left to do is the scope thingy that checks out the inside of my stomach and stuff. I am happy that everything is starting to happen! : )
Well, my journey is officially started.......

about two weeks ago I had my consult with one of the doctors at Cedar Senai Non Invasive Surgery Center.......it went pretty well and I am really started to get excited. He explained that I will be getting the RNY procedure and what that means. He also settled ALL of my fears of not getting approved.......he said that he can almost GUARANTEE that I will be aproved due the the fact that I have a BMI over 40 and have BLUE CROSS OF CALIFORNIA INSURANCE........sooooooo WOOO HOOOO! That takes a HUGE worry off my shoulders.
My next step is to go to my dietitian and phyc. evaluation on May 10th and also on that same day I will be attending a manditory Pre-Op informational class that the hospital requires all patients to attend. I decided to do it all in one day since I live about 2 hours away from the hospital.
I have my Dr.'s appt. here in town tomorrow to go over everything that me and him need to work together to get done on the list that my surgeon faxed to him....(blood work and an EKG and stuff). So I guess I will post tomorrow after I find out what the next step is for me........... GOODNIGHT!
