Hi! In Orange County here and I'm about to do my psychology evaluation. You mentioned your deductible is met. Is it a calendar year deductible, as in resetting Jan 1? I would be shocked if a doctor who hadn't met you would be able to get you scheduled in the next two days. And I'm not sure I'd want to work with a doctor who would! I know that means a good bit more money unfortunately. But your deductible for 2017 will be met for any other needs...
Also, I don't think you'll know until after your surgery whether you'll be fine with a week off work or need a lot more time and help with your little ones. I am thinking of the lifting restrictions you'll have and how much 2 and 3 year olds need to be picked up. Your family may be right there (I hate it when my family is right!).
Best if luck to you!

Hi, wanted to Thank all those back after I had my sleeve surgery on 09/19/16 & 09/23/16 my husband left me. The we'll wishes really got me through some had times cause would read them when I needed a boost. I originally thought he left due to a drug issue. I thought we would work out if he got help but didn't work out that way. I found out by doing some investing that over our last 3 1/2 years of part-time nursing school -he cheated on me while in class at night after working full time, & on clinical weekends with multiple women. I really struggled after finding this out for awhile with getting Vitamins every day, enough Water, but did Protein Drinks for Breakfast & still do for Protein amount. I got through things & doing so much better. I found out Friday also that I will be graduating nursing school. I work with claims dept for the hospital I had surgery at now. I hoping that after I pass my state exam I when take in few months I can get,a job on the baratric floor for surgery patients. I would love that even more then anything. I am writing this update so if anybody else loses their spouse after surgery -keep chin up because it will get better. Sleeve surgery on 09/19 was one of the best decision of my life. I filed for divorce & he signed papers last week, graduating nursing school from long part-time road, & am down around 50 pounds since surgery. I feel better then I have in such a long time -it is amazing how surgery can change your life for the better. I enjoy exercising, walking dogs & energy level is so much higher now. Plus hearing how well you look from others is huge boost to everyone. I hope nobody ever has to go through what I went through, but if anything hard happens in your life post surgery hang in there. Hang in there, keep chin up because trust me your life & overall health will get better & what a blessing in the changes. I do feel very, very blessed in my life again.
