UPDATE// Maybe February surgery

[Heybrendacleo 48]

I wanted to give you guys an update on how things are going with my Journey. So far I have loss 15 pounds of the 22 pounds I need to loss for the surgery. I got my Psychosocial clearance. I met with the Pulmonologist to test my lung strength, and he said my lungs are fine. Friday he wants me to get a chest x-ray and blood test to check my oxygen level, once that's done I see him in two weeks. He said if those test come back normal then he'll give me clearance for the surgery. On the 21st of Jan I have my last appointment with my Nutritionist and if I loss the 7 pounds my surgery date with be schedule. I'll have to do more blood work before the surgery. So, if my blood work looks good I should have my surgery mid February. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time! All of this is taking place during my last semester of college. I'm graduating in May with my Bachelors degree, I'm starting an internship with a foster care agency in Jan, and I got accepted for graduate school in VA so I will possibly relocate in Aug from NY to VA. There is a lot going on! But I'm determined to get everything done.
