The PFT went fine, the tech said that anesthesia likes to know ur lung strength and capacity. It was basically a lot of.breathing into a machine that measured everything. I did get a headache afterwards like others mentioned. The stress test was easy, rode a bike.

The sleep consult went ok, i have my study in 2 weeks. I met with nut and she was awesome.

I had a chest xray, pulmonary function test and sleep study because my insurance said I had too. The xray and pft only took a few mins.

Best of luck to you

I understand that it is overnight but the schedule would be like in a week or so and after that I need to have follow up in another 2 weeks and I am afraid to miss the surgery date....

and I am not a great person not sleep at home... and I doubt that I can bring my toddler twins there :) this way I would fell at home :)

Congrats on your letter!! For anyone else reading this and concerned with a time frame with appts, many dr offices will try to squeeze you in if you tell them you need the appt for a surgery clearance. That happened with me twice. Both times the first opening was 6-8wks out, for new patient. But when I asked if they could get me in sooner because I need clearance for surgery I had an appt in a few days.

Thank you IrishEyes.

I tried. but usually they start with 1 months waiting and after telling that I need clearance for surgery they give me 2 weeks. but I rarely can get next week appointment. Still faster :) then a month :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
