Latest update on me

I started this journey with a visit to my surgeon on March 29, 2005. At that point I weighed 658 lbs. He sent me home that day with these tasks to do before surgery: Get weight below 500 lbs. - done, now 456.4 Become ambulatory - done/continuing to work on Informational meeting - done Psych consult - done Bloodwork - done Cardiac consult - done Pulmonary consult - done Abdominal/gallbladder ultrasound - done Nutritionist consult - done Sleep study - canceled - don't have to have, I don't need it any more Gastroscopy - done Done, done, done, all done, now I am just waiting on a date!!!! One kinda cool note, while they were prepping me for the gastroscopy, my surgeon was bragging on me to the nurse about how much weight I had lost pre-op. He seemed very genuinely pleased, pointing out the date he had first seen me on my chart to her and everything. It was really nice.
