I've had all of my tests, meetings with the nurse practitioner and nutritionist and the final one with the surgeon, and have been approved by insurance. My date is August 2. I wish tomorrow was August 2nd. I am beyond ready, but the doc is taking vacation in July.

Congratulations!! Good luck.

Well some updates on me. My personal 🚝 choo chip is still chugging down the tracks . Heard from the coordinatior for "Life after Bariatrics" department ( who would have thunk of such a thing?) Kaylee K. at OSU. Turns out I can do an on- line seminar instead of having to attend in person. Good thing because it's at 4:30 PM and transportation that close to rush hour,is iffy. Had to watch 4 of their 1- hour pre-programs which I did yesterday afternoon . At 4:15 I log in on my computer and we are off to the races. Then when I have completed that step, my regular coordinator Jessica is notified, next step do I meet with surgeon or what? Figure I will still need an X Ray, can that be done like on the same day as surgery? If it needs done in advance,how far in advance ? Know I don't get another full CBC prior, if they would need a thing unusual,let me know soon. Otherwise I don't get a full CBC until 2 months post. Hmm I am getting 4 hours+ on my Cpap, that reading faxes in July 2. Any guesses on what come next in this journey? if you have any insights ,please share them with me. Have to go pay my Water bill today,,used to be quarterly, now it,is monthly and the Water/Wastewater💦 department is making out like bandits. Rate Used to be $91 a quarter, now it is $41,62 on or before the 15th of the month. And if you don't show up,promptly they tack it,on the property owners taxes. They should wear masks and a knife 🔪or gun🔫 at their side. America🇺🇸 got mad at Great Britain🇬🇧 because we thought,our taxes were too high for what we got out of them, now we have grown our own money-grubbing leeches ourselves, doesn't feel that much better to know they are domestic instead of imported.😭 Then I get back home, set a comfy chair,in front of the computer 📝and wait for log-in time.
Wonder when my surgery 😷date will finally be? When I know I'll shout📣 it from the housetops and,it will be so loud you all will hear👂it too!

I had my last nutrition appointment yesterday. Today, I have a cardiac sonogram. It’s supposed to be just precautionary because my EKG had a little bleep on it! I pray nothing is wrong. I don’t want to postpone my surgery for anything. Have to wait and see on the 25th when I have the follow Up! I did at least lose a couple more pounds.

Good for you Dixie Jo , slow but steady weight loss is a very good way to go. I would 💙 to drag-race you to the,operating room . maybe I still will. Love sharing this with you and all,this other Summer 2018 group of friends.😛

Good luck with your sonogram, I hope it was nothing and I get to move on. If not though, taking care of your heart is top of the list. Wishing u well 😀

My surgery is next week. Today I just broke down and cried. I am so sick of the F'n pre op requirements since DECEMBER. I have a surgeon that has been highly recommend ed but the bed side manner is intimidating and frankly scary, I'm doing all the leg work by myself the Admin from the office are always too busy. TODAY I had it! Rite Aid is fighting me on the liquid pain med. Like I don't know it is a narcotic! I ordered all the stuff from Amazon and the DR said I want this here prior to surgery. Now I am getting late notices from Amazon. I cant find a place to give me a prior EKG.

I only call it that because it’s the beginning of a new life 😊 Hopefully everyone who have dates pending find out their Rebirth Days soon!
