My Doctors check up
On Saturday I had a pre op. check up with Dr. Lara. As per my surgeon I will need to make sure Im healthy and ready to have the Lap Band Operation. This involves getting pre op. blood tests and sugar levals and high blood pressure tests along with an upper GI (sounds horrible) . My Blood pressure is normal and my sugar levels have gone down but Im still taking Diabetes medication to regulate it. I will be having the upper GI next week and if all goes well I will get cleared for the surgery. Im hoping to have the surgery in 30 days and if the insurance and Dr Liu (my surgeon) approve it I will be on my journey soon.

Cool beans!
I just saw this surgery being discussed on Oprah last night. I say night because I miss it during the day but catch the 1AM rerun.
Anyway, the people on the show that had it, all looked wonderful and were very happy with their results.
I wish you the best and I'll be sure to keep coming back here to check on your progress.
I saw the Oprah episode too. I thought of Tom the whole time. I had to fast forward when they showed the surgery footage, that was too much for me.
Tom's going to look wonderful and be very happy as well, I'm sure of it. What about calling it
"Tom's Tummy Trip"?
(several meanings covered there:)
