"I have read great things about this surgeon and personally communicated with former patients that had surgery performed by this surgeon. I meet with Dr. Wongsa on Friday, 4/13/01. I can't wait!
I met with Dr. Wongsa this morning and what a pleasant appointment that was. For this to be such a serious procedure, he made me feel at ease about it. I went in armed with many questions and he answered all of them to my satisfaction. He is very patient and very personable and humorous. The letter with go out to Aetna on Monday 4/16/01 and I am scheduled for an upper GI. I am also going for a medical clearance from my PCP on Thursday, 4/19/01. If all goes smoothly, I could be on my way to surgery in a month or so. My fingers are crossed.
It is now Saturday, 4/21/01 and I was approved by Aetna in 3 days. NO PROBLEMS!!!
I am now waiting on Ruth to return my call from yesterday to schedule a date and wrap up all the pre op exams for my PCP. I am so excited. God has definitely seen me through this process."
