Please read :( Sorry so long

Hi group/Dr R

I had planned to attend the clinic last Thursday. My mother came up from Fl

to attend with my hubby and I .

Well, for the past few weeks I have had been stressed/anxiety etc about

what Dr R might tell me because I'm over the 350+ limit.

I've proceeded with my research and doing my packet, talkin to my pcp etc.

and wanted to finally meet the Dr.

Well Thursday morning (early) I woke up with my heart racing. I wanted to

go to Durham so badly that I kept telling my mother to wait it might stop

but it didn't and she wasn't going to wait any longer. My mother and hubby

had to take me to the emergency room . I returned yesterday(Monday) to over

500 emails...that I cant possibly go thru if anyone said anything to me

directly and I don't respond pls send again if need be.

Well I knew what was wrong with me it happened one other time in 1998. I

was taking two graduate classes during summer session 6-10pm at night 4

nights a week and teaching the upward bound Mathematics program during the

day.

Well needless to say after final exams and my regular school year started

(School teacher) the stress from that and the exams triggered it.

So i was diagnosed with atrial fibulation(rapid irregular heartbeat) and

yet again I was diagnosed with it this time also.

I had no occurence of this since 1998 at all and I was so excited but at

the same time had high levels of anxiety...even wrote dr R an email one

nite bc i couldnt sleep bc of my anxiety level. Well I guess it finally

peaked.

Now I'M home when i checked out of the hospital my official weight was

377lbs. Lost some while I was in there... I am a firm believer that

EVERYTHING happens for a reason... (Lord just lemme know what it is right now)

I have been put on cardizem and coumadin, developed eye infection in

hospital also in both eyes so also on Ciloxan.

I don't know where I stand now....Dr R???

is there anyone out that that has had MGB by Dr R with incidences of afib?

Was very thankful that my mother was here to help out and keep my spirits up.

Dr R I have no anxiety over this procedure it is only over the fact that I

want it so badly and I'm afraid it's not going to happen. (much like many

others in this group)

Thank you all for listening,

Kathy-NC

P.S.

ALso wanted to meet a few people that were there...Rikki & others sorry

i didnt get that chance.
