Hi zns, glad all went well for your 2nd appointment. Don't worry about being a bit late, they always seem to run late anyway.
If you don't have chest pain or palpatations I wouldn't worry too much about the heart tests. They may be an echo, which is an ultrasound scan, stress ecg which is an ecg while on a treadmill. If they show something you may need to have an angiogram, but that is extremely unlikely.
I have not had a chat with Dr le Roux, I was at CX yesterday and heard he was in Bahrain.
I'm glad you had a good interview with the trick-cyclist, she had me in tears. :cry: But then I am a real softie
Not long til your op now! Fingers crossed for everything!
Thanks guys. :hug99:
Today didnt go very to plan! We left at 5.30 am to make sure we got there for 8.30, however the last 2 miles took over an hour! Luckily I phoned ahead and they said it was ok just to get there when we could.
First I was weighed and had my BP taken. I then saw the Dr (I didnt see Dr Le Roux but it was someone that does the samething he does). He went through my history and the form I filled in and through my blood test results. Sadly Im already iron and B12 deficient so will have to start taking meds for those now rather than after surgery. He wants me to take a cholestorol med as well. There seems to be an anomaly with my ECG as well so I might have to see the cardiologist. I also will be having a sleep study.
After seeing him I saw the pshyciatrist. She was really nice. Just went over history again and about my depression and about things like binge eating and how I would replace food after the sugery. I told her I had already taken up some hobbies to try and use those to take the place. She said that was a good idea. Just basic things like that really, seeing if I was prepared etc.
After that I had to go and have another blood test.
In about 6 weeks time I will get more appointments this time to see the surgeon and the dietician. In the mean time they discuss my case as see if they agree about everything.
Im a bit worried about the heart issues really :cry:. Everything else was pretty straight forward.
