Fast Tracked - 2/13-ish

YAHOO! Thanks again to all of you who've been so supportive in the last few weeks in my anxiety over getting scheduled.

I had my first consult today and, pending a sleep study and blood work (both of which were fine 6 months ago), I'm all set for getting sleeved mid-February. I should have a solid date in the next two weeks or so. I'm so excited!

I'm sure the anxiety and nervousness will kick in sure, and I'll Celebrate all over again once the date is actually nailed down - but right now I'm on cloud 9, and I don't even have to go to work after because I took the whole day off .

Me too! After all sorts of f#*^-ups by the staff at my first surgeon's office I transferred to another group and had my initial consult there today. They are accepting all my results from testing, psych, etc and will be submitting to my insurance this week.Hopefully I will be scheduled by next week! So excited!!

@@Kate M, Good luck! Congratuations on all your previous testing.

I've just scheduled my sleep study consult (Tuesday) and my psych, nut, and fitness consults (next Friday). I've also already done my bloodwork (waiting on results), EKG (perfect), anesthaesia consult (perfect) and have been told I'm "freakishly healthy" (exact quote) by 5 seprarate physicians so far. At first I was nervous that would mean I wouldn't be a great a candidate for the sleeve, but they all seem to think it will be well in my favor. Sorry work, I'll be using a fair chunk of the 3 weeks of vacation I have stored up here pretty quick.
