Had a physical today... My primary care doc ordered mega test for me. I am 37 and I'm getting mamo, colon,pediatrist, cardiologist,chest xray. I know everyone is different,buts it work.  Now I know what all the post ops have gone thru. What a journey this is indeed.
Much respect to the vets that have done all this stuff and more...ugh...not easy at all.

You have a lot to do- wow.  I did not have that much, but the hoop jumping is a pain- liltle or a lot; however, take it from a happy Vet, ( I guess- I am only 9 weeks out from surgery) anyway it is all worth it when you see the scales go down, you start feeling your clothes fall off you and you notice the change in pictures that others have been seeing.  Best of luck- you can do it.

That''s exactly what I said LOL. Even had a sleep study and now have a CPAP machine. Which I hate but ohwell.

I've been wondering about that sleep study... I bet thats coming too. Gonna take the advice of the vets, which is similiar to what you said,do some walking. They says its best to get as healthy as possible before surgery.
well.. let the games begin, I will be busy.
You have to use the machine every night?

Yup for one thing for sure you are gonna be busy for the next couple of weeks. I take advantage of this time by getting in a little exercise. I get off the bus one stop sooner. I have had 3 visits of 6 so far. You can do it!

no one could have convinced me time would pass so fast, and I also had a 6 month supervised diet and exercise, but its all done now and my surgery is Monday, it does fly by, mostly because you are sooo busy with all the appointments. good luck to you. it truly does pass by fast.

I'm Still a work in progress, I wont give up the quest to reclaim my life, I will be whole again someday!
