DH's WLS Journey

My DH began his WLS journey in Feb.  Did the 6 mo diet, and all the labs.  Was told he had kidney probs - turned out to be nothing.  Stress test showed problem with bottom of his heart.  Scheduled heart cath- was cancelled because his labs didn't look good.  Stopped the maxzide, redid the tests - all was well.  Had the heart cath yesterday.  The problem that showed up on the stress test was just from his abdominal fat.  Yippee!!  BUT, he does have 60% blockage in one artery - this DIDN'T show up on the stress test.  But they won't do anything about it.  He will continue on his aspirin, chol meds and he should lose weight.  DUH!!!  SOOOO, we are, once again, waiting for Dr. Pender's office to get all the results of all the tests, so he can schedule the 'decision appt' and then they will submit to insurance!  So he MAY eventually get this surgery!  On a different note.  Because he was off his maxzide for 2 weeks his legs are WAY swollen.  Almost to the point of blisters and going to the wound center again.  Hopefully they will be back to normal again soon.

Sorry to hear about all these delays, I'm glad they're turning out to be nothing.  I will keep ya'll in my thoughts and prayers that he can get to that decision appointment and insurance will finally give it a go!  I know it's frustrating but I'm glad they're being careful.  Praying for a speedy recovery for his legs for sure!!!!!!

What a journey, huh?  Sounds like if anyone should be a great candidate for the surgery, it would be him.  Hope his legs are better way soon! 

Sure hope it works out for him. Good luck!

Sending prayers for things to go more smoothly for him.

Oh No, not another roadblock!  I know you two have had your share!  I hope that Dr. Pender say's Ok. I sure hate I missed you the other night!  Nextime maybe bring DH???????  I'll send up a prayer for him.

I wonder ever so often about what is going on with your hubby.  At least he has made it thru this hurdle, now on for the next one.  May it go with flying colors.  And his legs get back to normal soon.

Hope you are doing okay, too.
