I had my initial appointment today and things went really well except the phlebotomist had a little trouble drawing blood cause I was so cold. Unfortunately had to be stuck twice. My insurance requires 6 months supervised plan by PCP or 3 months with NUT. I plan to do the 3 month option. I also have to have a psych evaluation and my surgeon requires a current pap and mammogram. He does NOT do the preop liquid diet....yay!!! He wants to do an X-ray to rule out hiatal hernia and I have to have an endoscopy since I'm opting for the RNY. I should be able to have surgery in mid September/early October. So excited to get this journey started!!
