First appointment

Okay so the appointment went GREAT! I was thrilled with the staff, they are so courteous, caring and just have nothing negative to say at all.
I was weighed in at 378....EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! But hey it's good to put it out there, to be honest, up front and say it "outloud". So my BMI was 57 I think she said, horrid! Morbidly obese is a phrase noone wants to say or think but there it is...
SO.....now what you might think...
Well for my insurance i have to have 6 months of follow ups with the dr's office and of course lots of tests and consults.
So first up at my January appointment i will do the "bundle" of testing. This includes labs, chest xray, ultrasound of gallbladder, pulmonary function test and physical therapy eval. I also see the nurse that day for a weight check.
Then in Febuary, i go to the sleep lab in Lake Placid for a lovely nights sleeping have a sleep study to see if i have sleep apnea. I really don't think i do, i think i just dont' sleep well, but i wasn't surprised when they asked if i'd be evaluated, after all i get very little good sleep, so it's a natural to think sleep apnea in someone my size. Anyway the next morning i go for my Feb appt, this one will be the with the doctor to discuss the surgery risks, etc.
Then in March i go to see the nurse pracitioner again and have the nutrition consults.
I also have to find somewhere to get my psych eval, may look into getting it done at Carthage. They send them a template of what they are looking for, so i dont' think they can screw it up, that will remain to be seen. I figure i might as well use my hospital discount since i am doubting insurance will cover it, we'll see.
So that's where we stand, i have 3 months worth of visits lined up and will be praying for good weather for those dates so i don't have to reschedule.
