Alright so now I am officially a blogger, right? First things first, I will map out my journey;

October 20, 2011-I had my first meeting with Dr. Kowalski (that's my surgeon)

October 25,2011- I had my EGD which was required pre op

November 19, 2011- I had my psych eval...they found out that I am only a little nuts

November 21, 2011- I had my f/u psych consultation where the previous findings were confirmed

December 12, 2011- I got insurance approval (and I was glad it was on the phone because I would have kissed the lady

December 18, 2011- Had my pre op labs done

That's it.
