March 5th! I can’t wait.

I have Cigna, and it took me from November 21 (my 1st appointment) to this Wednesday (January 16) to get my surgery scheduled. The earliest date I could have done surgery was February 18, so that would have been just under 3 months. I scheduled for March 5th though because it’ll allow me to use my spring break for recovery (I teach). Now, as a caveat, I’d had a physical and blood work a week before my first appointment so I didn’t have to re-do that, I managed to attend a support group meeting the day of my first appointment, and I had literally 0 medical clearance requirements (EGD, sleep study, etc) because all of my blood work, blood pressure, etc. were good and I’ve had a million EKG’s because my sister has a heart condition that can be hereditary. My surgeon said I was the first patient in months who he hadn’t required any additional testing for. If I’d had to do that, it might have extended things a bit.
