Getting closer to the finish line!

[ALFxRNY 540]

Starting to get excited because I’m almost done with all of my appointments required before insurance submission! My upper endoscopy is in a few hours (I should be sleep), cardiology clearance on Monday, psych evaluation in April, nutrition appointment 6 of 7 the very next day. My very last appointment before submission is a nutritionist appointment in May. My surgeon’s office told me to call them as soon as I am done with the appointment. I’m looking at a June date (or hopefully late May). Sorry for being long winded, just can’t believe how fast it has all flown by. Best wishes to everyone on their journeys

Congrats!!!

But this is really not the finish line, it is the 'warm-up', the starting pistol goes off when you get the surgery. Good luck and godspeed on your recovery and journey.

Thank you! And what I meant by the finish line is finishing all of my requirements for insurance approval. I’m well aware that I’m only just starting! [emoji846]

Your patience and hard work getting to this point has been rewarded. Before you know it, you'll be on the loser's bench! :-D

Thank you! I can’t wait! Minor setback because I’m late for this upper endoscopy because the medical taxi is giving me a hard time about sending out a cab that has already been paid for. Thank God my surgeon’s office is understanding and told me to come anyway when I finally get the taxi.

Update: my upper endoscopy went well. Next up, my cardiology appointment on Monday [emoji846]

So happy for you. It’s nice to start ticking off all the appointment boxes. It seems slow until they give you your surgery date then it rolls! Use this time to research and set a schedule.

Thank you for the tips! And none of it seemed slow for me. I guess I had so many appointments that my mind was occupied. I’ve definitely learned so much. Now to find Vitamins that I can tolerate (the Bariatric ones I tried were entirely too sweet) and I can check that off of my list!

Maybe you could try the optisource ones. They taste pretty good and dissolve rapidly. They're a chewable orange-citrus flavor.

Thank you! Will definitely have to look into these!

UPDATE: my cardiology clearance went well and they are sending their clearance over to my surgeon! I officially just have the psych eval and 2 nutrition appointments until everything is submitted to insurance!
