Moving Along....

Got a call from my doctor's office yesterday.... my surgery was officially approved by my insurance! How exciting!

My journey thus far has been:

7/14: Seminar

8/2: Surgical Consultation

8/16: Psych Evaluation

9/4: Dietician Evaluation

Future Appointments:

9/12: Nutrition Class (eating pre and post surgery)

9/13: Pulmonologist (practice requires pulmonary clearance prior to scheduling surgery)

9/18: Gallbladder Ultrasound

Once I receive pulmonary clearance, I can schedule a date for my surgery! The practice told me at least two weeks out to allow for bloodwork to come back. I will also need to get an EKG. Fortunately the bloodwork and EKG is done in the surgeon's office and doesn't require me going to another practice. Lots and lots of appointments but hopefully all worth it in the end.....
