Dr's Appt

Well I had my first appointment with Dr. Iragau last Thursday (6/18). I must say that I was very impressed.
I decided to have the Realize Band. My surgery will take place at St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, DE. Right now I'm going thru my clearance process. When I spoke to my surgeon he said the entire process usually takes about 2-3 months. The two women who I met who both have had the band surgery said to make all of my appointments as soon as the surgeon gives me the ok. Well I did and I was able to schedule all my appointments by Friday. I had to schedule my three education classes did that right after my appointment. Their office and the Cardiologist's office are in the same building as my surgeon's office. 
I went to make my initial appointment for the cardiologist and his receptionist asked me if I wanted to see him right now. Of course I jumped on the opportunity to check one appointment off my list. He was very impressed that I try to swim 50 laps 5-3 days a week. So I got a clean bill of health from him. I have to go back to see him for my Echo test and then one more time for my final clearance. His final clearance is my last appointment for EVERYTHING prior to scheduling my surgery. I'm so excited. Things are just falling into place. I spoke to the education coordinator and she said if I get all my clearances completed without any complications then I should be able to schedule my surgery the end of July or the first week in August. Whooo-hooo!!!!!!!!! 
Please keep me in prayer. And I would love to hear the stories of your WLS journey.
Until my next post ~ Take care
Peace and Many Blessings!!!!!!!
