1st visit

i met with the dr. and he said i was a good canidate..great!!! now gotta wait on the insurance co. then go from there..getting a little nervous now.i can't belive it's happening!!diana.

One step at a time! We've all been there, and it is a nervous time. Get all your records ready, doctor recommendation, and medical records to prove the necessity. The more you give to prove the better. You will probably have to get the psych eval to send in with letter of recommendation to insurance. Then get a list from your doc on pre op things to work on, like gall bladder ultrasound etc. blessings, Tami
