Met the surgeon



Recommended Posts

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

I am now T-minus 4-5 weeks till surgery!!!

Met the surgeon today, they are sending all my paperwork to the insurance company and we will have that back in 2 weeks, then another week and a half or two till surgery!!

Loved seeing him and when he asked if I had any questions and concerns about the operation. I told him that I've already watched the entire procedure on YouTube 3 times and know what to expect afterwards. That I'm not afraid and ready to go.

He said he only wished he had more folks who had done their homework.

I was in and out of his office in 10 minutes.

Dammit that was easy!

After the insurance comes back I'll have the endoscopy and sonagram but other than that it is all good to go!!

I can't wait to melt away! ;)

so they do endo after you were approved? I meet surgeon tomorrow and endoscopy is May 5th. I didn't know how it all works out. But figured i'd just ask surgeon tomorrow. I'm hoping to have surgery first part of June. Good luck to you.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
