Not July Band Crew AfteAll

:think Well, I was in day surgery on Monday, the 31st. Had the IV in my hand; feet pointed toward the OR when the anesthesiologis asked me if I'd ever had a heart attack or any heart problems. I said No. It seems, he said, that my EKG was abnormal and he thought I should see a cardiologist. So, my band has been postponed. WAAAAA!!!!!   I'm seeing the cardiologist on Thursday, the 10th. Hopefully, this guy will read it quick and say, Oh, yeah, you have a heart murmur. DUH! I TOLD YOU THAT ON MO

Appt. with Dr. McKee 06/21/06

My appointment today went as expected. I was hoping to get a date within 2-3 weeks, however, the hospital is scheduling for August. I guess it's not supposed to happen until then for a reason. Patience is the key. It will happen.   Donnie went to the appointment with me. Dr. McKee showed him the band and explained how it's placed.   I have an appt. with PCP tomorrow to talk about scripts, especially something for the migraines.

Day Before Pre-Op Visit

I have my pre-op tomorrow with Dr. McKee. I started this process in December by going to a support group meeting. I attended an informational seminar in January and was approved at the end of April. If all goes well, I should be scheduled for surgery within the next 2-3 weeks. Wish me luck. Weight Before Surgery: 260 lbs.
