1st Gastric Sleeve Doc Appt Update

[GonnaBHotMama 18]

Had my first initial appt today with my surgeon and it went GREAT! I was so nervous about my BMI due to my family doc visit last week, but be careful what you wish for, cause my BMI is 41. lol So the family doc mustve done something wrong during that visit. I will get a call tomorrow from the insurance specialist about submission of the paperwork and then I'll be waiting for approval. I hope they are in the holiday spirit and approve me quickly! (pretty plz) I have to complete some EMMI online education and will start that after I get my surgery date. After approval, the process should go quite quickly. I'll have to complete 2 weeks of a pre-op diet with Nutrimed. Not cheap at about $200, but completely worth it, I think. And the the other testing, of course. I found out that he does a 34 bougie. Yeah, I didnt pronounce that right, he thought it was quite funny. lol But since Ive read a few posts mentioning it, I figured I would ask. I am so glad that everything is underway; I will be even more happy when I know that my paperwork has been submitted and extremely excited when I get approved. This is a great site and I am so glad I came across it while I was researching WLS. Thx yall!

Yay! Congrats! It is so exciting, yet frustrating when waiting on submission and approval, but I think when I get my approval...I just might scream. lol
