Cleared by everyone!

Well, today I had my follow up with the GI and he has cleared me for surgery.

 

This is a list of all specialists I have seen and been cleared by:

PCP-letter of support

Psychologist-cleared

Cardiologist-EKG/ECHO/STRESS TEST-Cleared

Pulmonolgist: Sleep Study showed Severe Apnea, CPAP-Cleared

Gastro(GI)-Endoscopy showed small uclers, gastritis, esophaghitis. Meds for 2wks.-Cleared

 

Now it is a waiting game. I sure hope I didn't go through all of that for nothing...being declined by insurance would be awful! I switched to this pricey insurance plan because they do support bariatric surgery. If it doesn't get approved, I will then assume it wasn't meant to be and the reason for this journey was that I needed to find out that I have the apnea and the GI problems. If these things didn't get discovered, I'd have a lot more medical problems than I presently do!
