One Step Closer!
I had my test review appointment with the surgeon yesterday and I really liked him. We went over everything in detail and I signed consent for surgery. They've submitted to insurance for pre-authorization and looks like surgery will hopefully be early August. He had a resident with him during my appointment so it was fun to have him talk about me (with my permission) in front of me as he explained things to the resident while they were doing my physical exam (Feel here, see how you can feel her ribs, that means she's going to likely be fine for laprascopic).
I then met with nutrition, his nurse, and the surgery coordinator. All in it was about 3.5 hour appointment. There was a lot to go over with the nurse, but thankfully because I am also a nurse, it went faster than normal. I got the 1000 calorie pre-op diet and after shopping today I will be starting that tomorrow. This is all finally become more real for me and I couldn't be happier.
Onwards and upwards (or downwards as the case may be). :)
