Update on my Progress

May 03, 2010

Well, I had my medical evaluation on April 6 and my AC1 level (blood sugar average over 3 month period) was at 318 so I had to be referred to my PCP for an increase in meds and was told that they could not approve my surgery until my blood sugar average was between 70 to 180.  My PCP has increased my meds and want me to report my blood sugar levels weekly for the next few weeks.  My next appointment with him is May 12 so hopefully by then he will send approval to the bariatric center.  I completed the nutrition class on April 21, had my psych evaluation on April 29 and my stress test on April 30.  Hopefully everything is reported to my PCP by May 12 and if he approves then my next step will be the surgical consultation with the bariatric surgeon.  Keep me in your prayers and your fingers crossed.  I am so looking forward to joining the losers bench and improving my health so I will be able to enjoy my family for years to come.
