Had all my preop appointments today

[JennaSoto 85]

I went today and had my ultrasounds, chest xray, ekg, 2 hour lap band class and preop blood taken. I have one more appointment on May 1st with the surgeon. It's really starting to get real!

They told me when they put the band in they will fill it with 3ccs- I thought that was odd- anyone else have a fill at the same time as placement?

Jenna, how long did the process take from beginning til today?

[JennaSoto 85]

I started back in October- but had problems with my insurance and my primary care dr getting them the info they needed. From the time all the paperwork was submitted it took 2 days to approval- that was a week ago Saturday. I called Monday (8th) to schedule things- Surgery is May 7th. So once everything was submitted- one month.

One month from approval to surgery.

That's great!! I'm praying that my paperwork for approval goes quickly. I've been deciding on this for over a year now. I'm so anxious to get this done!! But I am still in the very early stages. I go for the seminar next Tuesday.

I haven't had to do any of those classes. My surgery is may16 and all I've done is EKG and they have me the paperwork to get my blood. I am also a cash customer cuz of my insurance.
