Newbie introduction

[ZeeGee 40]

Hello everyone,

My name is Zee. I’m from the Philadelphia area, 36 yr old wife and mother of 4 (1 going off to college next month). Had my first appointment with my surgeon Dr. Soans on 5/6/23. Did all my lab test, EKG, Pulmonologist appt, 2 out of 3 of the required Nutrition classes, 2 follow up 1 on 1 with nutritionist and found out I have sleep apnea. Have a cpap machine now and have been cleared by the pulmonologist. Have a follow up with surgeon on 7/6/23. Have been following what I am to do strictly so I’m hoping that goes well. I know I have to see a psychologist but don’t know when yet. I have Keystone First health insurance so I made sure to call them first and see if surgery was covered before starting this Journey.

Really looking forward to this surgery so I can be more active in my kids lives.

Congrats on the start of your journey! Best wishes on your success! I too am in the preop stages. Not much longer and I will schedule my surgery.

Your thorough preparation, including lab tests, appointments, and following the recommended steps, shows your dedication. Taking care of your sleep apnea with a CPAP machine is a positive step too. Seeing a psychologist will provide valuable support along the way. It's wonderful that you've checked your insurance coverage beforehand. Keep up the fantastic work, and I hope the upcoming follow-up with your surgeon goes well. Wishing you all the best on your path to being more active in your kids' lives!
