First Visit Today!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 05, 2012

I had my first visit today with my surgeon and it is starting to slowly feel very real!  We went over my options and agreed on the sleeve.  I was 99% sure this was what I wanted, but wanted to make sure that RNY was not for me.  After listening to him, I really think the sleeve is best. 

He is absolutely, fabuously awesome.  We really connected and this made me feel fantastic. He answered all of my questions, assured me that this is the right thing for me and confirmed that this is not the 'easy' way out, but rather, the most difficult way.  I needed to hear that I think.

We talked about a January-ish timeline and he agreed that was very realistic - EEEK!  I hope he is right!  After he and I finished, I was sent to the financial/benefits coordinator.  She too, was awesome and answered all of my questions.  I paid my enrollment fee, and took my packet and now I wait!  I must wait to receive my appointment packet in the mail.  This will be everything I need to do between now and submission for approval.  I will do my best to keep you all updated with this as it goes. I know that I have benefited so much from reading other people's stories....I want to be able to do that for someone else along this journey.

There are a lot of things to get done...but, they will get done in time and hopefully we will we be smooth sailing from now on.

So...now....I......wait.....for....my....packet.

MEH!
