Bump in the Road! Prayers needed!

[cathychatts 1]

I am so ready for surgery and June 6 is actually my second date.:thumbup: I was originally scheduled for May 14 (I would be banded by now) I was rescheduled so I can have the new Realize band and Dr Jamie Ponce (a lap band pioneer surgeon) is flying :plane:in to do the surgery with my doctor, Dr. Kramer.

Anyway, last Thursday I went to have allergy shots and mentioned to the nurse that I was swelling. :thumbup: My blood pressure was 162/90. I have never had blood pressure problems. It stays around 120/80. I haven

t added new medications and no new stress. :thumbup:

I went to my PCP today and she did more test, she says I may have congestive heart failure :scared:and will have to postpone my lap band! They did x-rays and a PNP blood test, I will know more on Wednesday. If the tests come back good, I am ok and can have surgery. Please! :pray2:Pray they come back good! :thumbup: For now I am going to stay positive! :thumbup: and believe it is just a little bump in the road!

Cathy (finally spelled your name right!) I'm sorry to hear about your recent problems. That would be scary. But I know you know as a person who believes in prayer that these things always seem to happen for a good reason. It's good this happened now so they can deal with what might have been a hidden danger to you during surgery. I will remember you in prayer. I'm confident that the Lord has only good in store for you!

You are in my prayers, Cathy. You are scheduled on the same day as I am, and I just know we will BOTH be banded on that day. Keep your chin up, sister...

Great News! :eek: My test all came back good! I can have my surgery! :lol:The excess Fluid is going away and I am feeling great! We still don’t know the cause, but it might be something I am allergic to. I have many food allergies! So! I am good to go on the 6th of June!:sleep::sneaky:

That's great, Cathy! I know that is a load off your shoulders.
