I'm so excited! Today at 1PM I will have my last "official" appointment with my bariatric surgeon before surgery! I'm hoping today I get a lot of questions answered. I've heard a lot of people talking about getting a endoscopy but my doctor hasn't even mentioned it once. It's a little annoying because my surgery is only 17 days away and I know I may have to take off work for this. I feel like there are a lot of things I still don't know. My surgery is on a Monday, so I'm wondering if they will be doing the endoscopy and blood tests the day before, which is a Sunday. Oh well. I should get answers today. I'm also wondering if I should maybe start the pre op diet early...or at least, part of it. I haven't really lost (or gained) any weight since I started this journey 6 months ago so I figure the more weight I lose now, the better. I probably won't do the extreme, just two protein shakes and a normal meal. These are all the random thoughts running through my head! I still have the worry that I'll get all this done, and they come back and tell me the insurance won't cover it. The office I go to seems so unconcerned with this, that it has made me unconcerned as well. But I've heard horror stories on here and now I'm starting to worry a bit. I don't understand why they would schedule the surgery if they were uncertain about me getting approved. Another worry of mine. The doctor I usually go to has left the practice so the last couple of times I've gone, I've went to someone new. I don't like him, and he doesn't really know me. I doubt he even knows I'm getting this surgery done. I'm slightly worried he won't approve me for this surgery. But considering his old partner is the one who referred me, he probably can't. Has anyone not been given their primary doctors approval? Just curious! Alright...well that's enough of my ranting for today! I may blog again once I get back from the appointment.
