getting pretty excited. I saw the internist yesterday. I don't know whose ecg the receptionist was looking at when she called me but there's nothing wrong with my ecg or my heart. That's a relief. He says I'm fit as a fiddle and referring on in the process.

saw the dietician and social worker and they're impressed enough with how I'm doing they say they don't need to see me till the pre-op class, when I'll get my appointment with the surgeon. If I can bump up my colonoscopy/endoscopy to November I'll be able to do the December pre-op class and should be able to have surgery sometime in February. YAY!1 this is going better than I hoped.

the dietitian said not to worry about trying to lose weight before surgery as the optimist will take enough off.

im SO glad I found this group.

Not sure what Centre you're going through, and not to burst your bubble, but I had my pre-op class in December and didn't have surgery until April. I met the surgeon in February.
