ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....

[vsgforlife 3]

Scheduled April 30th. I'm self pay since I don't meet co-morbidity requirements for my insurance. I tried to get it covered but I was borderline. Now that I decided to self pay I'm being fast tracked and everything is happening so fast. I'm ready, bring it on!

So now I'm even more stressed. My surgeons office called to say I needed medical clearance before my surgery on WEDNESDAY!. I told them they never said I needed that. I've done all my pre open tests and everything so why would I forget to do one other important thing to be ready for surgery. So I have an appt on Tuesday at 3 the day before my surgery to get medical clearance. There isn't any reason I shouldn't be cleared, but still I'm stressed that the surgeon gets the clearance and I will have the surgery on April 10th.

This week, I did final labs, chest X-ray, EKG, pre-op with surgeon, follow up with NUT, and pre-op medications interview. Only thing left is to do a pregnancy test one week prior. Getting ready for pre-op diet on Tuesday. Whew!

Hi, I had that same request a few days before I was sleeved. Don't worry, it's just another hoop the insurance requires. Good luck with your surgery! ;D

I work in a surgery center and that kind of stuff happens. Have you had bloodwork? If so, get a copy and bring it. The doc will look at the labs and you can ask him to write the clearance right there and ask to get a copy so you can bring it the day of surgery. His office will fax it, but ask for a copy anyway. If you haven't had bloodwork, you might need to get it done the day of surgery and get the ok from the anesthesiologist.

Home from Mexico and feeling tired and a little sore. Really not bad. Florence Hospital was great and the staff.
