Passed my psych clearance! (Crosspost)

That's one more thing down.

Before Dr. S can submit to insurance, I need an EKG, and upper endoscopy, and a letter of medical neccessity from my primary.  Oh, and a sleep study.  And I have to finish my 6 mo supervised diet - the last visit for that is on Aug. 4. 

I am really hoping I can get the endo, EKG/primary visit, and sleep study done before mid-August.  I suspect that once I get authorization, my date is going to be a couple months out from there. The primary visit for the letter and EKG will be easy enough, but the endoscopy is probably going to require me to take off work, at least a half day (if I can schedule it for an afternoon and go to work in the morning).  The sleep study I probably won't need to take off for since, well...it's at night!

I just started a new job this past Wednesday, so I really and trying to avoid taking time off since I will be taking two weeks off whenever I have my surgery.  And I am a contractor, so I don't get PTO.  And I don't wanna get a rep as that person who takes off all the time, you know?

One step closer - thats great.

 

I'm waiting on my second consultation - the eval review with the surgeon. I got approval from the psych/nut haah..
