Lol![/quote'] Recently I've begun to feel the same way. But I don't think it matters how many times you have had surgery, each one is still a surgery that has risks involved. You just have to have faith it will go well!
March 27, 201313 yr i had my first consultation this morning. i have two appointments set up, if everything goes smoothly could be 5 weeks when me and my mom have the surgery. im excited but nervous does that make me weird?? i have a appointment next week and the following and then they submit it to insurance...
March 27, 201313 yr I have my first consultation Tomorrow. I am so excited! I am going to do this with my 23 yr old daughter. Well we just go done with the Dr. He was great. We are going to do the gastric bypass. They called insurance United Health Care and there is really no post op stuff they need done. We qualify for the bmi. So.... We did blood work today to find out if we had the bacteria in our stomaches. Next week on the 4th we have our NUT consult and then on the 10th we have our Psych Eval. Then its sent to insurance for approval letter. I am so excited!!!!!! Cant wait.
