Extremely Excited and hopeful!

It has only been one week, but so many things have happened since I last wrote.

In my last blog, I wrote how frustrated I was at my setbacks due to needing cardiac clearance and problems with scheduling. First let me say that miracles do happen, and they are brought about by extremely kind and generous people.

After my initial cardiac visit, I had gone over to my bariatric surgeon's office to let them know the timeframe for my cardiac clearance. Unbeknownst to me, when the bariatric office found out, they called the cardiologist office and asked them to move up my tests and appointments. They were kind enough to do so, and since last week I have had a stress cardiac echo, a baseline cardiac echo, and then today I received cardiac clearance.  What's more, the cardiologist advised me that my bariatric surgeon would receive my clearance letter in two days.


But guess what?! I just received a call that the cardiologist had already sent his cardiac clearance for me, and that they are submitting my case to the insurance company!

In anticipation of my surgery,  I will meet with my surgeon this Thursday,  April 17 for a pre-op visit.

The best news of all? We are shooting to have my surgery by April 24, which is just over a week from today!!!!!! I am tentatively hopeful, but I feel that everything from here on out will go well. This month I have received numerous setbacks,  but now that I am over them, I think the surgery and life will fall into place!


Keeping my fingers crossed!
