Final Appts This Week....

I am completing the final appts for my clearance this week. I had the last regular weigh in with my PCP today. She is signing off on my clearance letters and sending them to the surgeon. The Pulmonologist is signing off on clearance as well. I have a stress test and echocardiogram on Thursday, ultrasounds on Friday and the endoscopy on Tuesday. Final bloodwork and urinalysis was completed today.

It's getting real now. I expect to sign consent and submit the package to insurance sometime next week. . If all goes well, my Valentine's Day date will be my surgeon and my gift to myself will be a lovely little stomach.

We went out to dinner tonight and I definitely overdid it. I feel ridiculously full and uncomfortable, like Thanksgiving dinner full which is not good. I am looking forward to starting the pre-op diet. Hopefully, it will feel like a cleanse and get me ready for this surgery and what's to come.

Hope everyone else is doing well. I will update when I get clearance and a date.
