:phad my stress test today, feeling a little green around the edges. I sure did not care for the chemicals that they shoot into the IV after the radiation. the one that stimulates the heart. good grief. the nurse kept asking how I felt. I felt like I should barf and as if my neck was going to...

oh I really do agree with what calql84health just posted. it can be so very disappointing to keep having all of these different tests thrown at us and all of these obstacles. I thought that I was getting closer also. thought that I had my final visit early this week. no such luck. cardio doc...

I am going to mt carmel west. but so close, I had to ask.

Glad that you are feeling a little better Donna. I have not had my surgery yet, I think that I shall avoid chicken and mayo for the first few months ( just in case) hope you recover completely. xo lacey

Thanks Frank, I know it will all come soon enough. The weight certainly did not get here overnight and the process for the requirements takes long too. I guess I just wasn't expecting the stress test and the echo. There wasn't anything wrong with my ekg, so I am assuming this is added...

welcome Shan. I will turn 50 this year and decided that I would love to live a longer life with my fantastic husband and to be here for my 2 beautiful grand daughters. I think that you have made an awesome choice. I have been researching this for 2 years and found a Center of Excellence and a...

I thought that since we have not had our surgeries yet and are going through the same stuff, we could be online loser friends...lol

welcome hmc, there is a lot to do as far as requirements, be prepared for the wait. that is what I am going through right now. I just joined the site also. everyone here is very encouraging because I am getting frustrated a little after 4 months of doc visits and paperwork! BUT I KNOW IT IS...

I thought that since we are both new, we could strike up a losing friendship online to support each other. :)

Thanks everyone and welcome losingitforgood! I really do like this site. I pop on here a few times a day to see what is new and to throw some encouragement someone's way ;). We all need that. I thought for sure that after going for my EKG yesterday, that I was on final doc...

missirene, I agree with your advice. As someone who suffers from depression and bipolar, I could see how there could have been an issue had I ever have been hospitalized for my issues. xo

Tiffany, were you told that you would not be able to take meds after surgery? I also take 4 meds, twice a day and I was not told that I would not be able to continue with meds. Are you enjoying your shakes and your popsicles? You better be, because you are going to be my inspiration...xo

I have arthritis, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, depression add in bipolar and degenerative disk disease and tah-dah that would be me! I have not had my surgery scheduled either, still jumping through my hoops of requirements. My...

Today is my second day on this site. I am thinking that I am going to come here everyday to see how everyone is doing, and to learn how to navigate the site:rolleyes: I had my cardio doc appt. today, that went well. I need to go this Friday for a stress test and the following Friday for an...
