The Good and the Bad

Did the first part of my psych evaluation. He told me I am a good candidate as my life has stability and that I have a good support system. On the downside one of my respiratory test the AGS did not come back that great so now I have to see a Pulmonary doctor, has me a little nervous. The bariatric group is going to call me next week once the appointment is set up to let me know who, when and where I need to go. I am hoping it has more to do with my size and my fat pushing up on my diaphragm causing my low level of oxygen in my blood, if that is true then more of a reason to be approved for the surgery by my insurance. They told me that it will have no bearing on the tentative date of my surgery.

I found that a lot of the tests they did were done more in order to let the surgeon know what to be prepared for at the surgery than as factors that would have stopped the surgery from being able to take place. I had that when my PTT blood work came up abnormal and it resulted in them having to have extra blood on hand because we discovered I had a clotting deficiency. I have high hopes for you :)
