Hoping I can get a surgery date soon but I think I'm being too optimistic since my blood work showed low Vitamin D, Calcium and Iron levels I would think they would want me to raise those levels before the surgery.  I'm hoping whatever I've been doing has helped we'll see when I get my blood work next month.  Fingers crossed.

Saw my NUT yesterday and got weighed she said I lost 10 lbs. which is great. I hope I can keep this pace up I think the more I lose before the surgery the easier it will be for me.  I'm still getting used to exercise (I have a herniated disc and find when I walk that my legs sometimes get numb but I'm working through the pain.)  Hope when I lose more weight that it will help that back pain.

So I completed my sleep study, saw the Psych and the cardio.  Going to see the gastro tomorrow also had my bloodwork, chest xray and Utlrasound of my gallbladder.  I've never been to so many doctors in my life and yet I'm elated because the end result will be a healthier me.  Can't wait to see the gastro, my NUT and go for the second part of my sleep study.  It's all for a good cause.

I'm so excited I had my first visit with the nurse practioner at Lawrence Hospital.  She walks you through all your pre-op visits which is the next phase that I'm set to accomplish.  I meet my nutritionist next Thursday and my pulmonologist Monday October 8th.  I've never been so excited to go to the doctor because I know the end result will be a better life.
