August Update

I had a follow up visit with my doctor. I was crying by the time I made it to the car. I knew I was obese, had high bp, and possibly sleep apenea. When he started going over my test results, I went in to shock. I have dangerously low levels of vitamin B, metabolic syndrome, and the left ventricle of my heart is beginning to weaken. My husband put a positive spin on it that I couldn't see- You are doing something about it and you caught it in time.

 

I have a titration study this coming Wed. I was diagnosed with sleep apenea 2 years ago but never treated. Sept 2nd I have an EGD scheduled. So more testing and then we will start talking about a surgery date.

 

I started this journey in July and I thought I would have a surgery date by now. I had no idea all the testing that was involved. I feel for those people who have to wait 6 months-one year. Once you've made up your mind, you just want to move forward. :tongue_smilie:

Oh my. As your husband said you ae doing something about it now. I think you can only look forward. Staying positive as much as possible was the only way I could make it through all the testing.

Your levels of vitamin B could be fixed right away I would think. Oral or subcut (shot) suppliments should fix you right up.

The metabolic syndrome will go away when I lose I weight from what I have read about it. Other than the triglyceride problems I had all the other factors and no one said a word about having it to me.

Keep us updated on your heart. This will be the biggest factor I bet in getting a surgery date. Good luck.
