SO...I wanted to write this down somewhere in case I forgot.....

 

Start date of the icanchange program:

02.03.10

Completion date will be 08.03.10

My 1st call to health coach: 02.03.10

My 2nd call to health coach: 02.17.10

My 3rd call to health coach: 03.15.10

My 4th call to health coach: 04.07.10

***The booklet has been completed

***Sleep study was completed on 04.06.10....now I'm just awaiting the results of the study. The technician said that she didn't think that there were enough "events" to be considered for CPAP; however, she said that she is not certified to read the study.

***I have my first nutrition appointment on 04.20.10.

 

I am excited that this is becoming more and more real. :thumbup:

 

Anyway, I just wanted to have this written down so that I wouldn't forget if I needed it at any time....

 

Have a great day!!

That's so exciting!! I'll definitely let you know how the nutritionist appointment goes.....I hear the first one is an hour, but I'm not sure how many more I need to go to after that first one. Gosh....I just want August to come! :w00t:

Hi, I am following your posts!! I also have Tufts and just today got my referral from my MD to the ICC program. I have a couple of questions - Was the sleep study a requirement from your Primary MD, the surgeon, or the ICC program? The whole ICC program seems like such a mystery and I can't find ANYTHING online about it!

Thanks so much!!!

The sleep study is a requirement for the surgery (from the surgeon). I think it is mainly so that they can check to see if you have sleep apnea, so you can get the mask for the surgery? Or at least that is what I had seen on someone else's post. My surgeon told me that the icanchange program is pretty much a giant waste of time....b/c you go through this 6 month program trying to dissuade you from having the surgery....only to be approved at the end for the surgery? It makes no sense, he said. He said that they have never had anyone denied, which is at least some relief! I'm halfway through! I think I have most of the requirements done....I think I just need to have the labs done, or whatever. That just reminds me that I need to call their office and see what is up. I never did get the results for my sleep study, so I guess I don't have sleep apnea?? Otherwise, wouldn't they call?? haha...
