I have to get a heart monitor next week and wear it for 48 hours and then because the local cardiologist will be out of town for a week I have to wait until Aug 14th for the stress test... then wait until the 20th for my appointment with the cardiologist... sigh... hurry up and wait seems to be par for the course!!! My surgeon for the sleeve is 6 hrs away so most of my interaction is through email at the moment. I sent the nurse this info about the cardiologist yesterday (I'll probably hear back Monday) so I don't know if this affects anything yet? I don't have a surgery date yet anyway, waiting for the approval paperwork back from insurance (I was told verbally yesterday that I have been approved --- yaaaaayyy). LOL patience is NOT my strong suit... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!! Steph

Good luck I had to do a stress test passed with an 86 that was good considering my ekg was abnormal and I was freaking out. Make sure you stay on top of the doctor visits because I did my stress test passed and my surgeon called that they didnt clear me and it was over 2 months.....I was always calling and making sure they had everything :)....

Thanks!! I heard back from the surgeon and they said that they would just talk to me at my pre-op appt on the 6th. So I guess they aren't too concerned with it. But of luck to you! Hope you get your surgery date soon!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
