First visit to surgeon!



Recommended Posts

I'm here! Sitting on the table, in the lovely paper product clothing ensemble! Waiting on doc for a physical exam. Kinda embarrassing, I didn't shave above my knees....hopefully he doesn't check too much in the lower areas. Then the nurse said I will be moved to another room.....it's an experience! I did see several women in the waiting room, around my size. And one came out who looked amazing and made an appointment for her two year check. I hope I can look that good a year out! More updates as we get into this!!

Physical part done. Surgeon consult done. Now I'm waiting for the insurance lady to come in. This is going too easily. Kind of scary.....Dr Wagner said usually his patients go home the day after, and I should be able to go back to work in a week. Now pray for good insurance feedback!

And, that's it. My insurance will not cover anything. So unless I can find a money tree with 12,111 dollars on it, I'm sunk. Sad....

That stinks! I have an appt with him on Thursday.

I'm so sorry to hear this...have you checked to see if your insurance is accepted with other programs?

I was in the same boat. I took a loan from my retirement. My thoughts, if I don't take care of this there will not be a retirement. Plus it is a loan so it gets paid back. I just made my first $5,600 payment. The second will be next Tuesday, the day of my surgery. If you want it you will find it! I pray the universe moves aside and presents a way for you too. Plus side of self pay. Three weeks from the first visit and I'm having surgery. ????
