Pre-Op testing

Today I found out that all my tests turned out okay. I had some sludge in my gall bladder, but no stones, so Dr. Wheeler said he was not going to remove it since it was still functioning. That's a load off my mind!

 

I am to attend PRE-OP class tomorrow from 8am - noon...that's going to be fun considering I am working tonight from 7pm-7am...lol

 

ChampVA sent a letter saying I had met the criteria for my surgery, however, they state they pay secondary to my primary insurance. I have NO PRIMARY insurance besides them. The billing dept. at Dr. Wheeler's office says I have to straighten this out before I will receive my surgery date...grrr!

 

But at least I know I'm a fairly healthy fat woman now...lol....nothing major wrong. I was worried about my heart and gall bladder. They did find some benign polyps in my stomach but he said those were nothing to worry about either.

 

So now I play ChampVa's game and try to find out how to get them to send another predetermination letter so I can finally get a DATE for my surgery.

 

I think I'm happy...nervous but happy!
