OK so my echo and nuclear stress tests are done, The echo came out good no abnormalities, waiting for the stress test results. I meet with the pulmonary doc next monday to go over those results then with my nut for or monthly weigh in I pray I get my referral next week to meet with the doc at St Lukes to set a surgery date. I'm getting frustrated this is taking to long. 8 months uugggggg!

I'm going thru the VA so I'm not paying anything for my surgery so I guess they are just trying to stress me out. I'm so frustrated I could spit!!! (yuk)

Congrats!!

I'm still going thru the cardio crap, now have to go for a nuclear stress test on Dec 9th they think I may have an electrical block branch or some crap I have never had heart troubles before now just scared to death.

That's who I will be going to in Tempe once the V.A. gets my cardio done on the 20th....all my labs are great, psyc is done did my 8 week wl classes lost 36 lbs just waiting on cardio and then meet with the surgeon and set the date!!!

Thanks for the info, just waiting for them to call me for a new appt

way to go!!!

Cardio did my ekg this morning.....my PCP called me this afternoon and told me they want me back that my heart rate was to low anyone else have this? now I'm scared to death

Great Job!!!!

I have my cardio appt this Friday morning just an EKG nless they see something else and then my labs.......after that just need y PCP to send of the consult with the surgeon!!! I AM SO STOKED!!!!!

Had my Pulminary testing this morning...PASSED have a slight obstruction probably due to weight he said...not bad for a new ex smoker of 40 years...now waiting for cardio appointment......

got my pulminary this coming thursday, they say it will last 2 hours. what all do they do?

YES, YES, YES!!!!

just talked to my NUT and she talked to the pysc and said everything should be fine that I finished the eval in record time and that she is putting in the consults for pulminary and cardio and lab work

Had my pysc eval today, she says will take 2 weeks for results if no government shut down, longer if there is. how long did it takefor your evals to come back?

I've been doing a Protein Shake and Water test drive since Monday and have not cheated once so now I know I can do the 2 weeks for pre op
