waiting, waiting, waiting....
So, I know for a fact that my surgeon's office received all of the letters from all of my docs- PCP, Psych, and cardiologist by today. Now, I am just waiting for them to call me with an appointment date to meet with the surgeon. UGH. I HATE waiting. for anything. I am told that once you see him, things move pretty quickly, I hope that's true. All I have left to do is 1 meet with NUT, fitness instructor, and support group all at their office, which I am hoping I can do all in the same week. Insurance approval I hear should only take about a week. And then I'll get a surgery date. Then off to pre-op blood work & chest xray. He doesn't order more than that unless you have other underlying conditions. So, here I wait for the phone to ring, hoping it will be the surgeon's office calling to make my appointment.

We met with the surgeon before they sent in for approval. After that, everything did move quickly, at least to the 4 week Optifast diet. That seemed to take forever.From the meeting with the surgeon until approval and starting on the diet was about 2 weeks. During that I had cardic clearance and more GI work. Then 4 weeks on Optifast, then surgery. I guess it depends on what you call quick. At least things were moving.

I remember that feeling! I know my surgeon's office was sick of me calling all the time *just to make sure* that I'd gotten everything in (i.e. to check when they were going to call!) It's like dating.
But the time will go so quickly that in a few months it'll all seem like it was a breeze. You're so close you can smell the ketosis!
