Screening and stuff
Jan 21, 2010
So I scheduled my Bariatric screening today! I have to wait two weeks until February 3rd, but I'm glad I got that appointment set up!My Dr.'s office emailed me with a list/time-line of what to do next. Even though this list told me to schedule my psychological evaluation after I complete the screening, I'm going to try and get that appointment scheduled now. I'd like to get that appointment scheduled as close to the screening as possible!
When I saw Dr. Heydari yesterday I asked him what the time frame can be from yesterday's consultation appointment to actual surgery day, and he said as little as three weeks to as long as twelve weeks... I would like to try for four to six weeks! As long as my insurance cooperates it'll be fine!
I called my PCP and requested that she write a letter on my behalf as well, which she offered to do when I told her I was interested in wls. So that should help speed the process up a little too. I must say, I have a wonderful PCP. Dr. Bremer has always been very supportive and understanding. You know how some doctors make you feel bad because your over-weight? Dr. Bremer has never been like that. She has always been concerned and urging me to do something about it. When the diets and things didn't work she didn't tell me I was lazy and stupid, she said let's try something else. I love Dr. Bremer!
Happy Day!
