Need Support and Prayers for latest news
I have been having my pre-op tests this week. Thalium Stress Test, Echo and Upper GI.
Got a phone call today from Dr. Weaver's nurse, stated I had a concern I needed to have checked by a cardiologist.
She stated it may be a false-positive, but to be on the safe side, before WLS.
Have a 1000 a.m. appointment in the morning with Dr. Watson in Germantown.
Never had any heart problems, not wanting any, but know this is a good thing they are checking it now.
Kind a terrified, but could use a lot of support as it is with my ticker.
My husband has a tendency to emotional disappear but he is there in body when a crisis happens medically.
Please send some positive energy my way (in Memphis) as a face the unknown.

I just woke up this a.m. after struggling to go to sleep. I guess the fear of the unknown is darking my door, but the funny thing is I didn't feel like eating everything in the house. My journey for the WLS is to be healthier and have been working with what I have to do to get there. My hopes is that is nothing, but also that I can get thru it no matter what...but I know it is okay to be scared. I have had one occasion with a cyst in my breast in 1995. The difference is I put it off, ate over it, finally faced it, and it was only a cyst. For me to call immediately and face the music today is a big progress for me.
I have a whole lot of living to do, but have been living the life I wanted for the last 20 years. Before that I was so emotionally sick with depression and anxiety I was just existing. It took me having 3 inpatient treatments to learn about what life was like in the emotionally healthy world, have attained many years of college to become a therapist myself. I know I am walking this walk for a reaon, but it sure feels ROCKY. In the past I was able to use my personal experiences to help those I work with. Going thru the experiences was tough, but I got thru it. So I guess this is my higher power's way of giving me something else to share.
I appreciate the fast replies I got thru the night. I am glad I found forums to talk to because local support groups for WLS are so few and far between.
