First Consult Tomorrow

[Mommymook 16]

Hello everyone tomorrow at 11am is my first official appt with the dr. I'm nervous but very excited. I'm nervous he will tell me I can't have the sleeve bc nys medicaid doesn't cover it (I'm not sure if they do I can't find anything that says one way or another). I really dont want bypass but I know I can't just not have anything done that isn't an option. So hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with some good news. Fingers crossed!

Well I had my appt today but didn't meet the surgeon because he had an emergency at the hospital. I met with his nurse, the NUT and a chief resident that sometimes works with my surgeon. Didnt find out if nys medicaid covers vsg have to call and talk to insurance lady monday she was out today. But I did find out a 6mth preop isn't required and if I get all my ducks in a row I'm looking at 3 to 4,mths til surgery. I go back in 6wks to see np n nut. Will see my primary to get my work up on aug 10th or sooner. Yay for moving in the right direction. Now just to keep fingers crossed vsg is covered.

Talking to myself here but didn't want to start another post.

I called my dr office and talked to billing and asked her and she said medicaid is covering the sleeve and no need for 6mth preop diet so I just need to, get all my requirements taken care of. Wooot.
