I will be praying for you. This was truly a blessing that they found it now. I hope everything goes well.

Congrats and I am excited for you.

mswl = medically supervised weight loss

Congrats!!! Hopefully you will havea speedy answer and a close surgery date.

That's just crazy. Did he tell you up front that he didn't believe in the surgery and would clear you, or just let you dangle out there hoping. Either way, it's crap. I hope the new Dr. is more understanding.

I am so frustrated right now. My last mswl appt is Thursday 6/28. I have made it clear to my PCP at my last appt on 6/4, that I need to have all my medical records, blood test results and medical clearance to the surgeons office by then. He also told me that my EKG looked fine but sent me to a cardiologist anyway. I was at least lucky to get in this month. I have been talking to my PCP about this surgery and reminding him of what I will need from him since MARCH. I called the office today to find out they haven't sent anything because he wants to see me again first. I have an appt set up for 7/2, which he set up before I left his office 6/4. (If he wanted to see me before he sent the info, why didn't he say that?) His office told me that they are also waiting for the cardiologist clearance for the tests I had last week. I have my cardiology results appt tomorrow. It was the earliest I could get it. I am guessing they do it this way so that they can get into the office to spend more cash. So, now I had to reschedule my 7/2 appt for 6/28. I was already leaving work early for my mswl appt, but now must take the whole day off so that I can see my PCP too. I know that this may just be part of process and such a small issue, but I feel like I am so close yet so far away. Just so freaking frustrated by all the last minute stuff. I guess I'll get all my stuff at my appt and take it with me. Sorry for the long rant....

Has anyone read "The Emotional First Aid Kit a practical guide to life after Bariatric Surgery "? I am reading it now and it has some really good info about pre and post op emotions.

Hi all. My name is Tia and I have been lurking on this site forever. I used this site to make a decision about the sleeve. I made the decision at the beginning of the year and now I think I am close to having the surgery. I have 1 more MSWl appt at the end of this month and I do all my pre op testing this month. I am a little nervous about the whole thing, but I keep thinking about what a better quality of life I will have in the end. So many of you have inspired me and assurred me I am making the right decison. Thank you all so much for sharing!!!
