I am a self payer and had my first meeting with the surgeon today! I was so happy to find out I didn't have to do the 2 week pre-op diet! I have to lose 18 pounds but I know I can do that! The doctor said I should have surgery the middle of Feb or first of March. I will go Tuesday to start all my testing. Thank goodness my PCP has agreed to do it, so my insurance will cover most of the testing. I am getting so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
