Meeting with my Doctor tomorrow!

Nov 04, 2009

Excited; nervous; weird mix of emotions.  This will be my first one-on-one appointment with the surgeon.  If this goes well, then I'll meet with the NUT & the counselor.  If that goes well, I think I'll get my surgery date at that point. 

Hard to be a self-pay.  My husband is so amazingly supportive to back me up on this.  My insurance covers bariatric surgery, but they only do it thru their own hospital.  And their hospital in Oregon only does the RNY bypass.  Not sure why.  They have hospitals in Northern Calif that I checked out (used to live there) and they do lapband as well as RNY.  On the plus side, is that my surgeon has a good reputation, and couldn't be more local - just two (very long) blocks from my office.  I look forward to being able to walk there as time goes on - without having the pain in my knees and bad foot - and without being so out of breath.  That'd rock!
