And so the waiting begins...

I chose Dr. Robert Richard MD at Obesity Solutions in Gainesville Ga. I am very excited. I went to a seminar on 7/12/08. At the seminar I received my application packet. I decided that Dr. Richard was 'the one' on 7/15 and started filling out my application. I was waiting on a form from my PCP until around 7/29/08 when I mailed my packet. An obesity solutions nurse called me on 8/1 to go over my app and make sure I didn't miss anything and to ask me when I quit smoking... (PS - I QUIT SMOKING!!!). I wish I was paying more attention to what she was telling me, but I was so freakin excited that she called that my brain was just stalling out or someething!! She said they would be calling to verify my insurance, something about education (I jotted down 'ed' as a note regarding the call lol), and then I'd have my consult. She said either they'd call me in two weeks or my consult would be in two weeks and she'd call back later. I'm pretty sure I'll be waiting two weeks to hear back from her though. Danget. And so the waiting begins. These will be like the longest two weeks of the whole process I think. Luckily I've already gotten my sleep study out of the way. I just can't wait to get this big fat ball rolling!!
