I was having problems with walking due to my legs. I have lymphatic deposits on both legs with my right leg being much larger than the other.
I was scheduled to have the mass of fat and skin removed on the fourth, but I got a call today that the Surgery Center in Cookeville would not perform the procedure because of:
- My body mass index
- My history of Asthma and Pickwickian Syndrome (or also known as Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) )
- My history of type II Diabetes
The nurse told me that there had been a issue with my weight all along, but I just thought why didn’t someone tell me that might be a factor??
Anyway, she said that Dr. Guiliary is out of the office until next Monday (he is currently out of the country) and they will have to call me on Tuesday or later to set up a new appointment. Thing is I have to have the surgery done at CRMC and I don’t know all the in’s and out’s of setting something like that up. Will I be just having ONE leg done at a time like we had talked or will I have to have BOTH done at the same time if we do it at the hospital???
All I can do is pray and thank God for His blessings, that His will be done in ALL things, and just wait patiently until I get the surgery.
I have to return to my Lap Band Surgeon tomorrow. I haven’t lost that much the last month. I have had a month and over to drop considerable weight but I just cannot hit below 329. I did get that far. We shall see what I weigh in at tomorrow.
God bless you all,
Tina
