Well well,everybody! it's your favorite Frstr8 reporting in. Left Mount Vernon at 7am, returned home at 1:30pm, so a lot,of fun and games in Columbus. I met with Nurse practitioner, dietician(a cute dude) exercise physiologist and had blood drawn. Then after I got home I called both my cardiologist and pulmonologist to have notes and observations records forwarded to OSU so I don't have to go through another series. Now we come to my EGD, my gastroenterologist did it in December 2017, got pretty pictorial document for me to keep, the bad news ,he shut down his local practice last month. Not sure where he went , perhaps Newark, so how do,i get his notes.etc? I am liable to be,looking at EGD #3 in less than 3 years. Mind you I don't mind the actual having, it's just going to delay the surgery a skosh more. Plus another trip to Columbus before the" dirty deed "gets done . And I am an impatient patient!😓 I yearn for completion.👉😝👈

So I had my weigh in and up .5 grr I know it’s me doing it but it’s frustrating seeing the scale go up so now I have to get the scale to move down and keep food notes for a month to get approved by the nutritionists wippie

I was following this post at some point and then never saw it again. Wonder what happened..oh well. So I've made myself a little checklist today. I went to my first consult yesterday and already have some appointments scheduled

Hi Everyone!

I am new around here. I have been lurking for months but this is my first post. I am scheduled for bypass surgery on June 4th! I am so excited. I was hoping to get a surgery date buddy to go through this process with for support. I'm 37 years old with 3 kids. I have yo-yo dieted my entire life and am looking to get things under control. My BMI is around 38 but I have a co-morbidity of sleep apnea so I was able to be approved. I am looking forward to meeting people to share this journey with!

Thank you Ylime for making the spreadsheet. That was so sweet and helpful.
