yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Thank you see less of me...I cant wait...he is a good doctor but his staff sucks...do u mind me asking wut did u have to do between ur approval date to the date of sugery...Tracey said its a lot but she hasnt told me anything...im very excited, not scared at all but I want to know whats in front of me...

You notice I didn't mention office staff...lol  And it VERY specifically was Tracey!! She is the worst!!  Everyone else has been good to me.  Teresa was very forthcoming when my paperwork got into her hands for the insurance approval.  The nurse practitioners I've seen after surgery have been great too.  The hospital staff was freaking awesome!! 

It wasn't really alot for me.  I had to schedule an anesthesia appointment and I had to schedule a pre op appointment with my PCP.  I had to sleep with my CPAP machine every night for about 2 weeks.  You have a 24 hour liquid diet the day before.  Nothing after midnight the day before surgery.

That's all I can remember.  Depending on your medical history they may require additional testing. 

No additional testing...I refused...well i asked if I could do away with it...lol...Yes that Tracey is something else...she is really getting on my nerves...if u dont like ur job find another one...24 hr liquids...I can do that...lol...Thank You for sharing

I had to send an email to the Program Coordinator because I couldn't get an answer from Tracey about my paperwork.  After she told me that she couldn't find my file one day ...that was it...I called her almost EVERY DAY to check my status and see how things were progressing. lol

Don't be afraid to bug her and if she doesn't respond send an email to the program coordinator to complain.  Then you'll get results.  Good Luck!

That is terrible...how do u lose a chart...wth.. i should call but then again i do have like a month and ahalf til my date...She got til Tues to give me info and I will call someone else
