Keep Your fingers crossed!

Ok guys,   I go tomorrow for my follow up with the psych. That lovely lady.() Hopefully, she should clear me, I have done everything that she has told me to, even more! Then I schedule my consult with Dr Nazari, then a date, and finally, I will be sitting on the bench with my OH family. I am so excited!!! Just keep your fingers crossed for me tomorrow at 2:00. I am so ready to do my happy dance, maybe in the next couple of weeks, I can do my happy dance!!!! As Always, thank you all for being there for me, I know that I can count on everyone. You guys are truly heaven sent!!  Thanks!! Danielle

I've got everything crossed for you, fingers, toes and eyes. Let us know so we can dance with you. Good luck. Pink

Daneille, There is no doubt in my mind that you will be released from the Psyc tomorrow and be able to schedule your appointment with Dr. N!!! Pretty soon you will be sitting on the loser's bench RIGHT BESIDE ME.

Yay, move over cause I am coming hopefully soon!!

Good Luck!  I know it's stressful, but just take a deep breath and be positive.  I hope everything goes well! Amanda

Thanks!  Amanda,   Have you heard anything on your psych eval yet? I know you said that you would not know anything until your two week. Just wandering how things were going with you.

Danielle

Danielle,  I meet with her again on the 19th, so I'll have my fingers-crossed then, too.  I did have the abdominal ultrasound and endoscopy yesterday.  It was a little worse than I expected, but not really bad at all.  I thought I was going to be completely unaware of  what was going on during the endoscopy, but I could hear them talking and could feel the scope at times.  It didn't hurt, though.  It was just uncomfortable.  As far as I know all they found was a "very small" hernia.  Dr. MacDonald said it was nothing to worry about and I could still have either the lapband or bypass.  He did give me the impression that he liked the bypass better than the band.  I had decided to have the band and he said I was a candidate for either, but something in his voice made me second guess myself.  Maybe I just misunderstood or am reading way too much into the 5 minute conversation we had.  Oh well.  I'll just keep rolling along.  All that's left of my tests is cardiac on April 3rd.  Then insurance approval... Good luck, again, and take care. Amanda

Amanda,   I hate that, I don't remember anything. I was completely out of it! It's your desicion, you should make the choice that you feel most comfortable with! You should have no problem with the Cardiac. When I went the DR told me that he had already talked to my surgeon about me. He asked him the major questions, and from them he knew I was okay to have the surgery, he just did an EKG to check out my heart, and that was it!! It looks like we will be starting our new lives together!!! What hospital are you having yours done at? Mine is at Pitt. Hey if it works out, we may have to become "Walking buddies" in the hospital. Ha Ha  You take care too. Thank you for lifting my spirits!! Danielle 

Danielle, Thanks so much for the encouragement.  I'll be having surgery at Nash General unless they find something that increases my risks.  I hate we can't be walking buddies .  At least we can share our problems and accomplishments here.  Thanks, again, and let us know how the psych visit goes. Amanda

Good luck!! We'll see you on the losers bench soon!!
