I'm home!!!!
Aug 05, 2007
Just wanted to say that I am home and doing okay. It was a bit harder than I expected because I kept getting really nauseous and it was really hard for me to burp. Other than that though things went well and I am so happy to be done and home. I was very happy to have a few people stop in and say hi to me that had this surgery too by the same doctor and it really made my day to see that people can care so much. If I have that same chance in the future I will do the same for someone else.
Today's the day!!!

One last step...I hope

Well, I have 1 more appt. with the cardiologist on Friday, June 15th to see him and hopefully be cleared for surgery. I had my echocardiogram on Wed, June 6th and my treadmill test on June 7th. I was able to do the test on the treadmill and the doctor told me that I did well, so I hope that means that I passed it andcan go ahead and get my date. I'll keep you all posted.
On my way... Finally!
May 26, 2007
Well, after finally getting the run around from my PCP on getting the referral to see the cardiologist, I am going to see him on the 29th. This is the last hurdle before I can get a date for surgery. I hope that I will pass the cardiac tests.
Grrrrrr

Okay, so I finally get a hold of the dooctor's office today and ask her if I can get my surgery scheduled, and she tells me, "Oh, umm, the doctor has requested a cardiac clearance before we can shedule surgery." WTF!!!! Why didn't you tell me this weeks ago so that I could have gone to my pcp to get the needed referralto see a cardiologist!!! I was so mad! Then she tells me that she can give the name of a cardio doc to see and I have to remind her that everything has to go through my pcp, and then she's like well do you have the fax number for your doctor's office? Hello!!!!! who is supposed to be doing this stuff?!! I mean am I supposed to do the surgery mayself too?! I'm just hoping to get the referral quickly and get this done so that I can get this surgery done, I am sick and tired of health issues.
Waiting...
May 12, 2007
Arrrrgh, all this waiting is driving me crazy! I got approved for surgery on Wednesday, called the doctor's office on Thursday and was told that the person who schedules appointments is out until Monday!!!! It's Saturday night and it feels like Monday is never gonna get here.
