3rd Visit with Surgeon Tomorrow

I have my 3rd visit tomorrow and I don't know what to expect. I contacted my insurance company today and they said that I should be approved as soon as my dr. submits paperwork. I'm curious as to what now? Does anyone know?

I underwent a RNY about 15 months ago. After I received approval by my insurance company for the operation, I underwent the first pre-op medical exams to determine if I had any unknown preexisting medical problems. Then I went through a day of classes to prepare me for surgery and post surgery. I had a few preexisting medical conditions, so a second round of medical tests were scheduled with specialists in order to flush out the extent of these problems. After this the surgery date was set. I underwent a pre-op diet and then the operation.

I would recommend that you make sure that you get your walking exercise in every day prior to surgery. It will make the recovery process easier.
