Evaluation Complete

Mar 19, 2015

I got my evaluation competed yesterday where I was informed that I may be required to complete a sleep study to test for sleep apnea. Had I known that months ago I could of already had that taken care of. It just seems to me like this whole process is a bit unorganized. I feel like I took another step towards surgery and 3 steps back. I was also told I'd have to probably have other clearances from my doctor like cardiac or pulmonary. My doctor isn't exactly easy to get into to see at the last minute! On the bright side, I had an appointment with my nurse and a mental health professional which both went well and my dietician who passed along lots of great book titles, recipe sites and alternate food choices to choose from. The surgeon I chose is booked for over a month so I opted to switch surgeons. They trained together and by all accounts she's a good surgeon. I'm hoping I don't regret that decision. I'm set to meet with the new surgeon next week and hopefully by tomorrow maybe I'll know exactly what clearances I need to start setting up appointments for. In the meantime I'll be working on getting my Spring Cleaning finished since tomorrow is the first day of SPRING!!
