Finally jumped the last hurdle and the surgery is a go. My preop blood test showed low vitamin D and hyperthyroidism. My Primary Care Physician wanted me to see an endocrinologist so I made an appointment for Feb 6. My surgery was scheduled for Feb 9. Surgeon decided that he needed a release from the endocrinologist before he would do the surgery. I had an hour from the end of my appointment to get his office to call before my surgeons office closed. Fortunately the planets aligned and all is well.
Looking forward to Monday. I have been on a very low calorie diet since Jan 8 with a few cheats but not too bad. Last night I did say goodbye to my good friend Popeye's Chicken. Since my first appointment Oct 20 of last year I have lost 54 pounds. My wife and I have everything ready and I am the first surgery of the day. I am confident all will go well and more confident that if there are problems my loving wife and I are prepared to deal with them.
