Getting sleeved August 8th

[LisaM 3]

I can't believe I'm getting sleeved on August 8th. I started researching this topic the last week of April and started this process with my PCP on May 2nd. I originally had considered going to Mexico and paying out of pocket because I didn't think I'd qualify through Kaiser. Well, I did qualify and here I am! I can't wait to start my new life!

Wow, you just saw the case manager last week and your getting sleeved that quickly. I had my Psych appointment last Tuesday and now I'm waiting for an appointment with Liz (case Manager). I really hope I move along as quickly as you are.

Did they set you up for an upper GI? I had my EKG last Friday and I'm not sure what else they will require. Maybe we will be in Richmond doing the sleeve dance together.

Hugs,

Shell

Oh yea, CONGRATS!!!!

Yep! I was nervous because a girl who was seen by Liz right before me came out and told me her surgery was scheduled for August 29th. I'm sure she asked for that date because I told Liz I wanted mine as soon as possible and that's the date she gave me!

I did not have to have an upper GI. I just had my blood work done and an EKG and that's it. There will be a day long class you have to have and a physical, but I was able to attend the class the very next day, after my case manager appointment. I had to use a sick day for it, but it was worth it!

OK, that sounds exactly like how my appointments have gone. Maybe they only do an Upper GI for certain health issues.

WooHoo, I think this may mean that I could be sleeved sooner than I thought. So very awesome!

Thanks for the response and by the way, we are neighbors. I live in Orangevale - right around the block practically.

Howdy neighbor! I love Orangevale. I have a few friends that way. It's an all American, Apple Pie kinda town.
