I had my last weigh-in today and now my info is off to the insurance company for approval. I made my reservation at the surgeons seminar for next month and I cant wait. I'm sure he/she will want more tests done but I'm getting closer. Yay!
The light
Jul 27, 2010
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Tomorrow I have my last weigh in with my PCP and then all of my paperwork gets sent off for insurance for approval. It seems like this last 6 months has flown by with the exception of this month and the last. Ive been preparing myself for so long I'm anxious to get going. Once I'm approved, Ill go to my surgeons seminar and then have my consultation with him. After that, its all the tests that he wants done and then I get a surgery date. I don't expect my surgery to be until the end of October or even later but I'm excited none the less.7/27
Psych Eval.
Jul 22, 2010
I just got home from having my Psych eval. I wish I hadn't made myself so nervous going in. I spent more time filling out paperwork than actually talking to the doctor. I think it went well but we will see. I don't expect to get the results for a week yet.
On another note, I have my last Dr. weigh-in next week, then all of my info goes into the insurance for a yes or no. If a yes, I get to meet my surgeon and see what testing he/she wants done before the surgery. It will still be a while before my RNY but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
good/bad news
Jul 20, 2010
7/20 
I got the call from my doctor with the results of my sonogram. It has been confirmed that I have PCOS. My doc is so awesome, I cant believe after his loooong day at his office and at the hospital he still takes the time at the end of the day and calls each of his patients personally with their test results. It can be something as little as normal routine lab results and he still calls. Hes just to cool.
Ive always suspected that I have PCOS but now that I know... I'm not sure how I feel about it. My husband and I dint want any more kids (I have a stepson from his previous marriage :) ) but having the option taken away from me kinda stinks. I'm glad its one more reason to have the RNY though. I have my last weigh-in next week and my psych eval tomorrow and then all of my information can be sent in for approval. Yay! I'm looking forward to a healthier me.
Psych eval
Jul 16, 2010
I just made my Psych eval appointment. Yay, one more step taken care of. Ive got to admit that I'm a little nervous about the eval. I don't want them to tell me I'm crazy. I'm just not used to being the patient and it makes me anxious. My decision to have this surgery is an informed one and the right one for me. Wish me luck.
Ultrasound
Jul 09, 2010
Well, today I had an ultrasound to confirm whether or not I have PCOS. I'm anxious to find out the results. If I do its one more co-morbidity to add to the list. I still have one more weigh in and my psych eval to go. Then my paperwork gets sent for a yes or no from the insurance company. Keep your fingers crossed.
