APPROVED! Happy :) and Sad :(

Apr 30, 2013

Hey, Hey, Hey!!! I had my endoscopy on 4/22/13 which was a BREEZE! My throat was sore for 2 days but other than that I don't even know I had anything done. All of my paperwork was submitted on Friday, April 27th and I received a call from my surgeon's nurse today that I was approved. I am sad because the first available surgery date is AUGUST 12, 2013. I was hoping to have my surgery in June/July since I am a teacher plus my son is going to basic training and I need to fly to Missouri for his graduation on August 23rd. CUTTING IT CLOSE! I would have liked the summer to recover. The nurse said that I can call every 10 to 15 days to see if there are any cancelations.

AND.....who knew there were still so many more appointments? Here's what I will have to do leading to surgery:

1. July 16:  Mental Preparedness appointment
2. July 22:  Bone Density Test
3. July 22:  Diet Class
4. July 25:  Pre-surgery appointment with surgeon
5. July 29:  Begin liquid diet
6. TBD:  Appointment to do lab with Anesthesiologist
7. August 12: Surgery

I am thankful that I at least know that it's coming but I still can't help but wish it was sooner. Did I mention that AUGUST 12th is my WEDDING ANNIVERSARY?????
