  1. Hi Papillon, I am new to all of this. I have just started the process my first appointment is on the 29th of September. Good luck with your surgery! I too am having Dr. Podakemeni. Do you have BCBS of AZ? That is what I have. My regular doctor stated it wasn't that hard to have them okay things. After your first appointment did it take long to get a surgery date? I have heard a lot of good things about this Doctor. Are you having to do a special diet before going in for surgery? Congratulations as the 13th is fast approaching. Thank you! Thanks, Rxsunset
