Pre-testing today, including a upper GI



Recommended Posts

I posted about it in my blog so feel free to read it, I tried to keep my sense of humor about the whole thing.

I'm done with the pre-op stuff and am off to the doc this afternoon for the pre-op consultation. After that we're off to a Bulls game. This I'm a bit more concerned about since I have never been to a Bulls game and have no idea if I will fit in the seat.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Hugs

I'm at Alexian Brothers so we can compare notes, LOL. I really like Dr Rantis, as a matter of fact I have an appointment with him today at 4pm. I had my dietary class last Monday, I think, and went to the Saturday class last month. My hubby had Lapband surgery the end of last month.

I'm really excited to have this done!

OMG that's awesome you and your hubby will be banded I'm sure it makes it easier... I originally thought I would be having it at Alexian Brothers but I guess they didn't have any openings and St. Alexuis did. OMG I went their this Saturday and it's really really really nice and everyone is supper nice. WOW you see him today... Cool. So are you excited? I am and ready to get this done already. Are you going to the meeting on the 7th maybe, we can meet.

Do you want to be support buddy's?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
