I had another appt with my surgeon (Dr. Ehrlich) today!:nervous:clap2:
Needless to say I was a little nervous. They had previously told me over the phone that I had one gallstone and that is what this appt was supposed to be about. Who knew 1 gallstone could cause such an interference. I guess he said that it's about ??cm but they way he made a circle with his fingers it looks like it's about 1" in diameter. OUCH!:cry This, doesn't it figure, means I have to have my gallbladder out first. But wait! There's more! Looking over the results from my sleep study he wants me on the CPAP for at least 2 weeks.:faint:
Luckily this was in the same office as the sleep doctor (Dr. Licata). They able to set me up tomorrow with a CPAP machine.:omg::nervous:clap2:
Another surprise!!!:whoo:Dr. Ehrlich figured since I was already there that we'd just do a Pre-op appt too. So here my next layout of schedule:
-Still waiting for them to submit to the insurance when they've had everything since 6/28/07. Should be done tomorrow.
-Get my CPAP machine tomorrow and start using it ASAP. Sleep finally I hope.:notagree Be on it until 7/31/07 when I have my followup appt.:biggrin1:
-Once approved by insurance and OKed by sleep Dr. WE SET A DATE!!!!:whoo: He said that we could do the gallbladder surgery and lap-band surgery a week apart since my work will be the problem with taking medical leave and we could possibly set a date for August!:clap2::whoo:
I'll keep you posted on how it's going.
How long does it take to get adjusted to the CPAP?:help:
