I met with the surgeon. He is super nice. He is very reassuring.

I only have 3 more things to do before they will submit me to my insurance carrier for surgery approval (*SQUEEEEEEEE*).

• I have to have a pulmonary test performed. It is scheduled for this Friday @ 2:00pm
• I have to meet with a dietitian (which is free) for 30 minutes. I am scheduling that tomorrow.
• I have to attend a 2 hour seminar on bariatric surgery (this is required by the hospital where the surgery will be performed. I am attending the seminar on 5/12 @ 5:pm.

The lady that handles all of the insurance wrangling in the surgeon’s office said I could have my surgery as soon as June, depending on how long it takes for my insurance to respond to the pre-certification (they have to respond within 30 days of the request).

I’M SO EXCITED!!!!
