Today was my consult with Dr. Dunshee. I already knew him because I work with him in surgery, but I hadn't gotten a chance to tell him I had an appointment with him. I was a little nervous that he wouldn't recognize me in street clothes, but he did. The consult went great, and Dr. Dunshee thinks I'll be a good candidate for surgery. We went over the signs of sleep apnea and decided that I don't need to do a sleep study, so that's one less thing to worry about.
So now it's off to my insurance company for approval. They're probably going to want me to see the nutritionist before they'll approve me. Unfortunately, the nutritionist I had an appointment with got put on bed rest and they cancelled my appointment. They're having to divide her cancelled appointments among the other dieticians, and the earliest they can get me in is June 4th. So that's a little frustrating, but even if I can't get approval until then it will be okay because I can't get off work for surgery until the middle of August. So I've got enough time. I would just be more comfortable having everything done.
The most important thing though is that I've been approved by my surgeon and things are still moving along. And so far it looks like the timeline I have in my head should work out.
