About my Pre op Process
Dec 09, 2008
My jorney began 7/23/08 when I attended my Lap band seminar with Dr. Antonio Coirin. I wasn't sure going in to the seminar that I wanted to do this but I was convinced it was best for me by the time I had left
I attended my consultation on 9/22/08.
I had to get my thyroid tested and get doctors clearance for surgery. This was both done on 10/18/08
Psychological Evaluation - 10/27/08 Dr. Morgan
4 hour Pre Op class-- 11/5/08
Nutritional Evaluation -- 11/21/08 Carol Kraft
11/26/08 called surgeons office still hadn't recieved my nutritional evaluation
12/8/08 called surgons office had just recieved nutritional evaluation and was in process of sending paperwork for approval.
Today I am waiting to hear back on approval.
Keeping my fingers crossed
and maybe my toes at times...
getting anxious...................
