as anxious and excited as i am there is still a chance i could not have this surgery. although i have been approved by insurance and cleared by surgeon and have a surgery date. my PCP still has to clear me.

i have an appointment with her at 1:00pm tomorrow. she is pricking my finger to test my blood sugar levels for the past 3 months. if they were elevated or if anything looks high or abnormal she wont clear me for surgery. (mind you i have never been diagnosed with diabetes or put on medication for it.

i don't understand this because i have had my blood sugar levels tested a lot the past couple of months (twice). i just made the mistake of going after a work party where we had cupcakes and Cookies this was on october 19th before i even started my pre op diet . i did my bloodwork literally a half an hour after leaving work that day.

i just hope and pray that God is on my side tomorrow and shows beautiful numbers. although i am on my liquid diet, i will be fasting with lemon juice and Water until after my appointment. i want a good weigh in weight and i am worried about the sugar contained in the atkins Protein shakes my surgeon has me on, i don't want to take any chances.

i cant help but be worried but i am trying to stay positive and hope for the best. if anyone sees this. pray for your sleeve sister that this WILL happen for me and be the best birthday present to myself EVER!!!!

You will be fine , I will pray for you.

Sending prayers your way for a successful appointment.

No sugar in the Atkins shakes.

OMG the clearance went good bur was soooooo pointless!!!! All she did was give me the paper for blood work and urine? ????? She could have called this in! And now the results can take up to 3 days. She was very nice and confident that I will be cleared so I can continue being excited and sleep good tonight! !!
