Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso

Just got back from the cardiologist and i'm cleared for surgery by her!!! No need for any additional testing...that's some good news right there! one step closer!

What the crap. No stress test? That's not fair. Maybe I should see your docs instead of Baileys doctors. Oh well. That's great though for you. Who do you have left to see?

I had actually had a stress test last year so that counted. Haha did I forget to mention that part? LOL

I still have all of the other parts to go. This was the first doc I've seen since the initial visit with Dr. Kirk

[Cota1262 40]

Just for the fun of it, they should make you do it again lol. I have really tried following the Protein diet, cutting out caffeine and carbonated beverages but I sure am missing my "regular" food. No soda in almost a month and severely cut out a lot of the carbs. I love sweets so this is killing me. I guess the sweets was really the one killing me lol

[nymetzfan11 26]

Yeah about that fun request....I think I'll pass. LOL in haven't started any diet yet. I imagine after the dietician visit the changes will start. I'm basically just eating everything I won't be able to after right now. Haha

[Cota1262 40]

LOL, I know what you mean about eating everything now but Dr Kirk told me if I weighed more the day of surgery than when I came in originally, then the surgeon could cancel the surgery due to non compliance. Yikes. I got my sleep study scheduled today. Thank goodness they just had a cancellation or I might be waiting awhile. I go in this Sunday night. Hopefully I pass and he cancels the cpap machine. A girl can dream, right? lol

LOL yes you can dream except you'll be dreaming with a mask on your face for just a while longer. After the surgery I bet you'll get to get rid of it for good!!! At least that's what I hope happens with me you know we could continue our conversation over email or messages on here? I bet people are tired of seeing just you and I chatting LOL. Just a suggestion.

[Cota1262 40]

Yeah, that crossed my mind too lol. But their more than welcome to jump in anytime :-)

[nymetzfan11 26]

I suppose you're right. Well you can still email or message me if you need to.

[nymetzfan11 26]

Have you had a sleep study before? And do you have a cpap machine now?

[Cota1262 40]

No and no. But when I saw the pulmonalogist he said all the "signs" pointed towards sleep apnea so I would need a cpap machine. I guess he's waiting until after the sleep study to get me one!?

[nymetzfan11 26]

See I don't know how that works. Since generally the surgery is supposed to help with sleep apnea if not get rid of it totally. So who knows if you'll need the machine until the surgery or not. Guess you'll know next week. Have you gotten a surgery date yet? I can't remember if you told me or not. LOL

[Cota1262 40]

No, not yet but as slow as things are going I'm betting February. What about you?

[nymetzfan11 26]

No for me. Don't see the surgeon until 12/19 and the pulmonologist on 12/23 so I'm betting February too for me. But you never know. It could happen sooner for both of us. Are you going to go to the support group in Owasso next month?
