Day 15

So today were the final results of the exams and apts that I had to do before the surgery. The final words. So my uncle Guillermo came with me and we picked up my test results. Went to the anestesiologist and he cleared me for surgery. Blood pressure still a little high, but he wasn't too worried about that. Then my specialist asked me to bring him the test results for him to give the final ok. He looked at my results and found my Cortisol high. Which can be a few things. Regardless he has postponed the surgery. High Cortisol can be a tumor on a hormonal gland, can be due to my high blood pressure or it can be due to stress. Well I was for sure stressed when they took the test since I almost passed out because my veins wouldn't cooperate. But to eliminate any other concerns he thinks its best to postpone until we have the test results back. So ok. Thats that. Still in the process. I'll continue working out this week and tomorrow more blood and urine tests. Hopefully, whatever result we get, theres a good solution to it. Dr even said that this can even be the reason why I'm overweight to begin with. All I asked for is whatever is best for me. Tomorrow just wasn't my day. There are more answers to be had. and I'm at peace with that. I'll continue what I'm doing. Its working because today at the nutritionist I got weighed and I've lost another 4 kilos. So in total I have lost 14pounds!!!!! I was so excited about it. I cant see it yet. My family does a little bit, but the only thing is that I can feel it in my clothes a little bit. Other than that, me personally, haven't seen the weight loss yet. I enjoy the numbers though. Not to mention that I still feel great. I spoke to my surgeon and he said that if the test results come back ok and its a go, then the surgery will be for March 1st. It'll all depend on these results. So thats the news for today. I wont lie, theres was a tiny inch of disappointment. I was ready for something and it got canceled. I understand the reasoning and all of that, but when you look forward to something and get prepared, and it doesn't happen, I think a little disappointment is understandable. This also postpones my father's visit. and quite possibly cancels my mom's visit all together. So a few thing also go along with the cancelation of the surgery. Anyways.

ps my grandmother just saw a tattoo of mine and asked me if I would like her to bring me her erasers so she can erase them for me. LMAO She cracks me up. She was very disappointed when I told her their permanent. LOL
