Initial consultation complete, surgery has been scheduled!

[BJLHouston 0]

After attending a couple of group seminars in mid-February and a True Result support group at the end of February, I had my initial consultation this morning. The consultation went well. I had blood test results from my physician that they were able to use because they are very recent, although there were two other blood tests that they also had to order. My EKG and pulmonary test went well, as did my consult with the nurse practitioner. I am having an endoscopy next week to see if I have a hernia. This will be my fourth endoscopy over the years as a result of my acid reflux. I then have my pre-op appointment on the following Wednesday, and surgery on the 30th! I pushed the surgery out a week because I have company in town for the next two weeks and did not want to be on the pre-op diet the entire time they are here. Otherwise my surgery would have been on the 23rd. Since I'm having surgery on a Wednesday, I'm planning to take the remainder of the week off and return to work the following Monday.

I've enjoyed lurking around here for the past few weeks or so, with an occasional post here and there. I'm now ready to get my health in check. Feeling a lot better about myself is just a perk...although it will be a GREAT one!

I welcome any comments, including anything else that you think I should know about True Results Houston and/or Dr. Hollis!
