Options Classes with Kaiser

Oct 19, 2010

Well I never thought this day would come soon enough! I finished my Options Classes with Kaiser yesterday and I think I am going to miss them. I had so many great people in my class with me and made some really great friends there as well. My whole class graduated and it was a large class. I was very happy that we all made it.

Now the fun begins! Pre-op testing and surgical clearance that is...........I went to the lab and had my 13 vials of blood drawn and did the stool and urine samples and chest xray as well...Good thing my hubby was home to drive me. I was very fuzzy and light headed after the blood draw. Now I just wait for the appointment to meet with the Dr. for medical clearance for surgery. I sure hope that a few of my lab results are ok and do not hold me up. I am also hoping that the 15.5 pounds I have lost will be sufficient with the doctor.

I was going to use Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego at first, but I really was set on having my surgery at UCLA and found out I cannot have it there, so I made a different decision. I will post more later on where I am having the surgery and with what Dr. If I cannot get cleared for this doctor, I will then be referred to San Diego... Not wanting anyting to jinx it at this point.

Thank you all for your thoughts and kind words over the past few weeks as well. I have had a rough time of things and with the pain I have been in. I have managed to get the pain under control from what was thought to be Gall bladder issues and was something different. I have felt so alone at times and I know with all of you wonderful people on here for support I am not alone....Thanks to you all!
