Moving along...

Oct 22, 2014

Today seemed pretty productive. First, I had an appointment with my primary care doctor. I was able to get firm word about the status of my sleep study, which supposedly was ordered in FEBRUARY. I'm not sure why it kept getting lost in translation, but I was told today that I will be hearing from the sleep lab soon and I will do an at home study. According to my surgeon and dietician, this test is usually takes a long time to get, so I'm crossing my fingers that this doesn't set me back several months. I also met the the dietician today for my final pre-op appointment and she cleared me for surgery on her end. She will send this approval over to the surgeons office who will then put together a package (nutritional clearance & psych evaluation clearance) to submit to my insurance. Upon approval from insurance, I will hear from the surgeons office who will then order more testing (upper GI, EKG & bloodwork) and set a date. I hope this doesn't carry into spring. I would like to get schedule the surgery for the 2nd week of February at the latest. I am going on vacation Jan 19th - Feb 3rd, so I'm thinking its probably better to wait until afterwards. I would actually consider postponing my vacation if it impacted my surgery date. Hmmm... That is all! I am crossing my fingers that all goes smoothly.
