I had my consultation and my psych eval. I’m just waiting on my recommendation letter from my pcp and because I already see a therapist, they had to also write a brief note. Assuming they come back positive, I’m cleared to move to the next phase. Which that is getting a letter sent to my insurance for approval of my surgery. Once it’s approved I can move to the pre surgery blood work.

I do hope they get their letters in this week!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Oh my! I thought I had updated—my brain is scattered lol

Yes! So, after going back and forth with the therapy office, I finally got my notes forwarded to the facility. I was cleared and then scheduled for my pre-op testing. I completed that this past Wednesday and now I’m waiting for the Dr to review my test results and surgically clear me. Once she does this, they will call to schedule my actual surgery. They’ll also schedule me for a required nutrition class at that time.
