Pre-surgery Apt Today!
Already my DS recipe box grows. Even if some of them are simply "mixing it up with the shakes!"
An excited, Alex!
I have one more appointment, the pre-operative blood work, chest x-ray and group meeting all rolled into one. This happens 1 week pre-operation and then i'm off to the races!!
I hope everything goes as smoothly for you as it has seemed to go for me.
All the best, Alex
Thanks Alex, it went pretty well today. They did the EKG, said everything looks good, ordered some more labs for me.
Well the insurance has already made me go through 6 months of a doctor supervised weight loss program. Then I got the approval for the bariatric consult that I had today. The internist explained to me today, that once I see the sugeron & behaviorist, they have to submit to insurance for the surgical approval. She said that can take about 3 weeks. She said they will submit that a day or 2 after I have my appointments on the 25th.
She also explained that the approval I already got to get to todays appointment is the hardest to get, so the 2nd approval should hopefully go smoothly. I haven't heard anybody else that had to get 2 insurance approvals, but my wonderful Priority Health likes to do it a little differently.
She estimated that I should be able to schedule my surgery sometime in September, but they can't set a date until I get the final approval, should be sometime in August. I'm hoping the insurance will approve it faster than 3 weeks, they only took 2 weeks to approve the consult.
Glad the cards are lining up for you!
