So here is what I still have to do so I can have the surgery.
1) I have to finish with the psychiatrist. This will be one or two more visits.
2) I have to get the sleep study done at the sleep lab. (If they ever call me.)
3) I have to have a consultation with Dr. Read. (This one I will do as soon as I have the money. The $750.00 program fee is split into three parts, $250.00 when you see Susan for the first consultation with her, $250.00 when you see Dr. Read, and the last $250.00 after everything has been finalized and before you have the surgery.)
4) I need to make a point to attend a few of the support groups.
5) I need to lose the 22lbs.
That is all that is left before I can get the surgery.
Just to throw a monkey wrench into the whole works though, I have a buggered up disc in my back, and will probably be going in to have surgery on it in the next few weeks. I don't think this will have too big an impact though. If all goes well, the recovery time shouldn't be too long on the back surgery, and I still have at least a couple months to get through all the last hurdles I need to for the WLS.

Hey buddy, figured to drop in and follow your story here. I thought you were getting the weight surgery done first. Losing the weight is good for the back too. I just spent a bit of time in the hospital this past week, and the doctor kind of made that plain... "Lose some weight ya fat viking."
As always, best of results for you my friend!
