Have a Large Diet or Regular Coke or Pepsi with a shot of Vodka for me.  Wow, I had about 10 last meals.... Every meal for about a week  before the preop diet was my last meal.

Enjoy!

Topic: RE: yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy
I had to send an email to the Program Coordinator because I couldn't get an answer from Tracey about my paperwork.  After she told me that she couldn't find my file one day ...that was it...I called her almost EVERY DAY to check my status and see how things were progressing. lol

Don't be afraid to bug her and if she doesn't respond send an email to the program coordinator to complain.  Then you'll get results.  Good Luck!

Topic: shout out to Sinai
 I gotta say, they won me over! I saw Dr Long's move to Sinai with a bit of trepidation but the staff at the program have been really great. Capping it all off, the insurance specialist, Kenisha got me approval with BCBS in 24 HOURS!!! Could not believe it! They all have worked so hard to make sure all my ducks were in a row, really validated my decision, and I'm having surgery on April 12th. Grateful to them and happy to have the path clear to the new me!

You notice I didn't mention office staff...lol  And it VERY specifically was Tracey!! She is the worst!!  Everyone else has been good to me.  Teresa was very forthcoming when my paperwork got into her hands for the insurance approval.  The nurse practitioners I've seen after surgery have been great too.  The hospital staff was freaking awesome!! 

It wasn't really alot for me.  I had to schedule an anesthesia appointment and I had to schedule a pre op appointment with my PCP.  I had to sleep with my CPAP machine every night for about 2 weeks.  You have a 24 hour liquid diet the day before.  Nothing after midnight the day before surgery.

That's all I can remember.  Depending on your medical history they may require additional testing.
