Hey Huny how are you? Tell us little about your self

Hi, Maryvsg87! I'm a single mommy, trying to get the sleeve done so that I can be around as long as possible for my son. I have hypertension and pre diabetes. I just had my first appointment today at NYP/Columbia. Oh boy...all the requirements seem so overwhelming. I was able to schedule 4 appointments today. I do not need a sleep study. However, I need 6 consecutive months of PCP visits. I'm going to need an endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, echo cardiogram, pulmonary functioning test, psych evaluation, and nutritional seminar. The test that has me the most worried is the endoscopy. Hate the feeling of choking and not being able to breathe.

I know what you mean. I suggest do the endoscopy and anything to do with pulmonary first. I was told to I didn't need a sleep study then I recently went to the pulmonary and was told he was sending me and in order to clear me I would have to get that done, so when I thought I will be done by Oct 4th it's looking like I will not. I did the sleep study and the technician gave it away when we were talking saying when I come back for the second test. smh SO IDK I wanted my surgery date already. But I leave it in Gods hands.

By the way I am in Mount Sinai St Lukes..... Dr. Kini

OMG that's exciting. Well Good luck and I'll be praying for you! I'm done with everything on the 4th and then submission to the insurance for approval. I'm so excited.
