 Finally slept in my own bed last night! So glad to be out of that recliner.

 I am panicking because I really don't want my surgery date to change and I'm afraid that they will make me wait with this cough. I've called the surgeon and left a message with his nurse, but haven't heard back yet. I hope I hear back soon so I know if they want to see me or if I need to go see my GP.  I hate waiting and I am praying this doesn't screw up my whole surgery process. To top it off I now have a rash under my left breast. Looks like yeast.  I put some cream on it last night and it already looks much better.  I guess the mental stress of upcoming surgery is starting to take it's toll on my body.

I've been doing this pre-op diet and have less than a week to surgery. I hope it doesn't get changed. I don't think I can do this diet twice and not be resentful.

On a good note, I've lost almost two pounds since Friday.

 I met witht he sleep doctor this morning and will have to do a sleep study before he will approve me for surgery. Luckily I will be able to do it at home.  SO this coming Wednesday I will be picking up the equipment and wearing it for the night.  Once I turn it back in it will take 1-2 weeks to get the results back.  If I have sleep apnea then I have to go back and see him to discuss treatment, otherwise I am done and he will sign off on me.  Crossing my fingers that I don't have any problems with  the test.  I don't think I have sleep apnea, but you really can't know for sure without testing.  Wish me luck!

 I had the egd today. Doc said everything looked good and that there was nothing found to keep me from having surgery. Yeah!

Now onto the next step.  I meet with the sleep specialist tomorrow and then the hematologist in August.  Once I have their okays I just have to finish out the 6 month diet and make sure they have weights from the last five years.

As for now, I am going to sleep some more. That stuff they gave me sure does work, LOL.

 I am now on my 2nd month of the 6 month doc supervised diet required by my insurance company before I can have WLS.  I don't think I have been as enthusiastic as I could have been because I am still waiting for all the specialist docs to approve me for surgery.  I guess it is me protecting myself.  I just got approval from my neurologist and I meet with a sleep doctor this week.  Then the only one left will be the hematologist.  I was most worried about the neuro who approved at my appointment last Wednesday so that was a relief.  I want to try and loose as much as possible before surgery because I think it will make everything easier.  Down 8lbs with 2 vacations since last month.  Hoping for more next month.
