Decision Appointment

Mar 28, 2009

I had my decision appointment on 3/26/09.  I am getting SO excited.  He said that all my tests came back ok.  He said that my left ventricle was a little weak but he thought it may have been from the conjestive heart failure that I was in about 4 or 5 years ago and that it is common in people who are overweight.  He didn't seem to concerned about it so I'm not too concerned either.  He said I was good to go and that he would be submitting my letter for the insurance company.  He said that it usually doesn't take BCBS very long to approve it.  He said that they are usually pretty quick because they (Dr. Chapman's office/Hospital) are considered a "center of excellence"....whatever that means..:)  I also got my protein shakes for my pre-op diet.  I have to drink 5 shakes a day, for 2 weeks prior to surgery.  He said I should be having surgery in about 4-5 weeks.....YEAH!!!  Whoot Whoot!! He said they will be calling me in the next couple weeks as soon as they hear from the insurance company.   I am SO waiting for that phone call!
