Here I am again. Had my appointment yesterday for clearance from the cardiologist. Guess what? He cleared me!!!!!!! I was so overjoyed, I started crying right there in his office. He went over everything with me as far as the risks and all with the anesthesia due to my heart and all. I am considered a high risk patient for surgery. But this is my last and only chance to get this weight off.
Now I have my 6th and last supervised diet check in with my PCP on 8-28-09. And then I have my nutrition consult, and psych eval on 8-31-09. Then from there, just wait for insurance approval. I am so close I can feel the excitement inside me. But the best part, is that I am calm. I haven't felt this calmness in such a long time. And it feels good!
