Approved!!!

Doc's office called today...insurance has approved the surgery!  It took less than a week. Gotta love Aetna.

My doctor is on vacation right now, but I have an appointment on August 13.  I'll find out then what comes next.

Yay!!!

quickie sleeve update...

I picked up the surgery clearance letter from my PCP on Friday and they were kind enough to fax it directly over to the Surgery Coordinator at my surgeon's office.  I'm not sure what kind of turnaround to expect...hoping I'll hear something by next week?

I know I've mentioned it before, but my PCP rocks!  Not only did the letter she wrote clear me for surgery, but she also took the opportunity to make a case for me to have the revision surgery.  She included stuff about co-morbidities, family history and also mentioned the numerous medical problems I've had as a result of the lap-band.  Love her!

Yay for "negative"!!!

The thyroid biopsy results came back negative...as in benign...as in NOT CANCER!!!

I pick up my surgery clearance letter on Friday AM and then the sleeve approval process will be in motion once again.

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

results are "pending"

Still no word on the results of my biopsy last week.  My PCP office called today to let me know that they hadn't forgotten me, but that the lab results were "pending" and that I would hear something next week.

Frustrating!!!  I'm not so much worried about the results (probably due to the Xanax that I took about an hour ago).  But, I just want to DO something instead of being on hold.

Happy weekend!
