So many doctors, so little time!

On Sept 11 i went to my surgeons two hour info session and got so much info i didn't know where to start. After r leaving i came out wanting to have gastric bypass but the thought left me fast. Honestly the only reason i decided against it was i have not had any children yet (if i even do). Its just my thought for myself that i should not have that extreme a surgery if there was still a thought of children in my future. So lap band it was! The very next day i got on the phone and booked all my appointments. Oh yeah the catch in this whole this is get the surgery before the insurance runs out in Dec. Sept 12 i met the nutritionist for the second time, the first time was no help and the second turned out to be the same (i need a good one!!!) She basically gave me printout that could have googled. Next appointment was the blood work on Sept 13. Dear god that was alot of blood but the woman did great and i have hard veins! While i was all excited about my wls i still had to tell my boss....which i did and he was very supportive but i would have left if i had to to get this done in my time frame. The psychiatrist was on the 18th and that was so funny. I got Dougie Houser! He was so young but trying to dress serious and asked me so many silly questions and then rephrased then to try to trick me i guess such as "do you take drugs" and "on a weekend how may drugs would you say you do" dude i just said i dont do drugs!!! That same day i went to s PCP recommended by the surgeon. He was sweet and creepy. He told me how much prettier i would be after surgery and how happy he was for me....whatever just sign away. I will use him in the furture though. He has one woman who does it all there and she is the best! I met formerly with the surgeon oct 7 and he asked me about my long diet history and said i would be a great candidate for a Realize Band! I could have cried and hugged him but he didn't seem like the mushy type lol. He scheduled me for oct 22. I was so confused, how can you be scheduled without insurance approval. Oct 9 i went for pre admission tests which was just more blood work because the other expired i 30 days. That woman hurt soooo bad. On oct 16 i went back to me creepy dr for medical clearance which of course i got. At this point i really was still unsure if i was getting this surgery, i figured my luck would grant me a no but i believe the next day i got the call from the surgeon i was approved!!! I thanked god and cried. And then i really realized (no pun intended) i was about to change my life. I also got another call that they moved my surgey up a day to Oct 21 which was even better and less time for me to continue my month long last food binge. Oct 20 i went for my preop weigh in and lost a pound woohoo! Surgery was the next day! I made what was supposedly a lengthy process super fast and got it before dec 31! That will be my next blog
