soundview 8 Posted August 5, 2015 Hi, so I just met with the surgeon on Monday and went over the Sleeve surgery. It was a good conversation and I feel like its the right choice for me. I had an EKG following the appointment and then met with my patient coordinator. She was able to schedule my Psyche eval for tomorrow, nutrition and fitness evaluations for the 11th. I have my lab request and I'm meeting with the sleep clinic for a home monitor on Friday the 14th. I'm really glad I can get started but I wasn't prepared for all of this in two weeks. How fast were you able to complete the requirements? I am self pay so I don’t have the 3-6 diet plan. Also I have a 2 year old and he's going to have to come to a few of these because I don’t have this much childcare available do you think that will work? Thanks, Virginia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hello new me 153 Posted August 6, 2015 I am private pay also. My first appointment was on June 30. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow August the 6th. Yes, it has been a crazy 5 weeks, but glad it is here already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopeandAgony 566 Posted August 6, 2015 I'm jealous! I need your quick turn. I had to do the 3 month diet. I see the surgeon next week. They won't even schedule me until I get cardiac, pulmonary and psych eval. I am in a race to have the surgery by end of Sept (due to insurance change). I think taking your son will be OK to be honest. I would take my little one too if needed. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soundview 8 Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks, I got my blood drawn this morning. Lots of tubes but she got a good vein so it wasn't that bad. Later I took my youngest to the psychology evaluation. Thankfully he was pretty good thorough it. So nothing now until next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
