More Appointments..

Jan 26, 2010

I saw the therapist today and that was good.  Not sure what his recommendation will be at this point but he said he would call me within a week and let me know if I need to come back or I am cleared  by him to move forward. Had to answer about a million questions like I was taking the SAT test with those little bubbles...sheesh.  But, worth it in the end.

Tonight I went to my 2nd orientation which is a presentation by the surgeon,  Dr. Read,  and learned all about the program and the actual surgery.  He showed us pictures of an entire surgical procedure and that was tough to look at and think "that will be me they are doing that to soon" but I managed. I did not pass out or even feel nauseous so I thought that was good!

My dietician appt. was cancelled last week so I dont go there until next week.  I am enjoying the "last supper" phase of this process and trying to make sure my head is in the right place before anyone cuts on me :-)

Next up on the agenda, see the surgeon for a one on one and meet with the dietcian. Once those two things are done my paperwork is sent in to insurance for pre-approval and we will see what happens there.  I am hopeful but I know this could be my holdup although it should not be since I meet their qualifications.  I have a letter of support coming from my PCP next week so that will hopefully help.

I am on my way!
