Stress Test

Made it through the stress test on Friday and did well but the scan left my back hurting the rest of the day. There is something about laying on those hard tables for scans or x-rays that really irritate my back. On Wed. I have my pulmonary function test. Then next Mon. start the process of my primary care physician monitoring my weight for six months (7 visits) that is required by my insurance company so that they will pay for the surgery. The surgeon may also want to have an endoscope done before surgery because of my GERD. Hopefully everything else is recent enough that I won't have to have any of it done. Also not certain if the insurance company is going to want me to attend a support group before surgery or just after but hopefully will find out. If not I can always call the surgeon's nurse. The journey continues. Still don't have the calories down where the dietician wants them to be. I have not forced myself to the gym yet either.
