Okay today was Round 1. I had my pulomonary consult with Dr. Sussman. He was nice and excited I was taking control of my life and managing my weight. I had to take a test that required me to sit in a little glass booth. WTH? The lady conducting the test was obviously not pleased that she had to test me. She said, sit on the chair in the booth and sat down at her computer. I squeezed behind her chair and tried to figure out how I was going to fit myself into that glass booth atop that little chair. I had one leg out of the booth and she said, Put both legs in the booth. I told her I felt a little uncomfortable and she did not respond. She seemed extremely annoyed with me. I decided I would not talk to her and just do my best at accomplishing the task of breathing and blowing. She then closed the door to the booth and I held my breathe to make sure all of me would fit inside. I was happy when the test was over because my legs and feet were falling asleep. The doctor reviewed the test and wants me to take Advair and Proair to make sure I'm clear for the test. He said I had better results after the nebulizer treatment. He also said he wants me to take a sleep study because 50% of people my size have sleep apnea. He doesn't think I do but wants to be better safe than sorry because if I do and they aren't aware I could have complications after surgery. He is going to get me in soon as to not delay my surgery! Usually there is a two mth wait but he is going to tell them to squeeze me in if there is a cancellation.

Round 2 is on Wednesday. The Psych Consult!
