1 week away from surgery!
Masko5 replied to PedsNurse92's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm one week away to on the 5th.... Sitting in the doc office waiting to meet the bariatric team... Had a set back with my heart, still waiting on clearance from the cardiologist - but he said proceed with everything! Just had a CTA scan yesterday- figured if they didn't stop the test and rush up to a room I passed! Crossing my fingers! Will know more Friday on that! Had the endoscopy and upper GI last week- all went well... So know it's done to the final stretch!! I'm more excited then scared! Good luck to everyone! June 5th can't come fast enough! -
