The Consultation

Yesterday I had my first consultation with my surgeon. I have completed the required classes, nutritionist appointments, psych evaluation, seminar and support group attendance.

He said I was a candidate for the sleeve..Wee!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am happy, excited, nervous, at times ambivalent but also determined. I now must obtain the required labs, ekg, chest xray and ultrasound

of gallbladder. Once I have finished all that and it is received in his office they will submit for insurance approval. My insurance is through an *** and I met their requirements as far as the classes etc so I do not think there should be any issues. I feel a bit under the gun as due to work requirements I really need to have my surgery in Oct. I spoke with him about this and he said its possible I may been able to have surgery at end of Oct.
