  7. Me too. I moved very fast. There was a lot of things though. Anyways. I'm almost there. Just coming from the seminar they make u go before surgery. They talked about anesthesia and the drain pack they leave attached and what you will see before surgery and they even took me to see a couple of rooms from where I will be stayin. These people are really on top of their game. I feel more secure now
  8. @duckyinlove.. After dietician and if you have completed everything with all your doctors. U need to visit your primary so he can give you the clearance and with that you take everything to your surgeon. A wk after or so your surgeon will schedule a visit so u can sign the consent forms with him and after that you have to wait for the insurance approval and then you have to go to your pre testings at the hospital and then you should hear when your surgery date is
