So I went for my 1st appt today to get the metabolic test, meet the surgeon, and talk to the insurance lady. I waited for over a month to get in. the while time I've been researching and been in here every night reading. So I have tried to prepare myself. tomorrow I have my mnt appt, pcp appt to get my referral letter for insurance, chest x ray, and EKG. I have a swallow study next Wednesday. The only thing left is the psych which they do in house so I find out when that appt is tomorrow. If insurance approves me, I will be having surgery in April. I am so ready for this, but now that it is happening, I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I haven't had an appetite all day (go figure lol). I guess I just need a little reassurance.

It will be fine. I have my surgery tomorrow morning. Hang in there!

Yay for you! Good luck tomorrow. Prayers for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

Good luck!!! I know how you feel like it will never happen then it does!! My date is April 2 for surgery and I want to do cartwheels but at the same time scarred to death!!!

Yes its a process but you'll get there. Good luck with all test and insurance.

Thanks guys. I just needed to be babied for a minute. LOL
