More Doctor Visits to Clear

I spent this past Thursday in McAllen seeing doctors all day. The first doctor was a cardiologist. He did an EKG and has ordered an Echo-cardiogram (which I'm having done tomorrow)and a chest x-ray(which I did that day). He told me that I had to weigh the risk with the benefits of the surgery and said if it was him, he would have the surgery. He is just waiting on the results of the Echo before he clears me. The next doctor was the pulmonologist. He had me breath into a machine to check my lung functions. He said all was good, but he wanted me to do a sleep apnea study (which I'm doing tomorrow night)before he clears me. The final doctor was the psycologist, he said it sounded like I knew what I was doing and for the right reasons and he had already faxed my doctor and cleared me. When we went back to Dr. Camacho's office (surgeon) they said they had heard from everyone and what they were all waiting on. They gave me an order for a gallbladder scan(which I can have done here in Harlingen) and then the only other test is a biopsy of my stomach which I will get done right after the 1st of the year. It has to be done at Rio Grande Regional Hospital as an out patient and my sister will have to take me to that one since they put you to sleep for it. As I said in the last entry I see the dietitian on the 10th for her final visit. And the heart doctor I won't get the results from the Echo until the 11th since he will be out of town. I go on Dec. 28th for the results of the sleep study. Well that is all for now. Thanks for all your support.
