Appointments are over!

I have finally completed all my pre-surgery appts!

 

I had my colonoscopy and endoscopy yesterday. Wasn't fun, but it's over!

 

I had my endocrine lab tests last week, along with my exercise evaluation, psychiatric evaluation, and dietary consult.

 

On the 15th of June I had multiple testings, including a scan of my gall bladder and stress test. I was so proud, that I could walk on the tread mill instead of having my stress test by chemically inducing it.

 

Sometimes I am nervous and I still wish I could lose it by just diet and exercise, but I have to keep remembering that all of us are different. We need different tools. The lapband is not a miracle, but a Tool.

 

I can do this! My next appt. is July 24, that's the day the doctor will tell me all the info they have gathered, good or bad. I hope he also tells me that my insurance is acceptable and hopefully my surgery date.

 

It's going to be a very long month waiting.
