Heard from my surgeon's office today, Michelle, who does the insurance for A - N or some such stretch of the alphabet, called me. But before
she called me, Liz from the sleep study place phoned. Yay! Can you say exciting? I made an appointment for next Friday for the sleep study, spoke about what I need to do, what to bring, etc. The only bad part is that I cannot use a computer or even my phone as it may interfere with the equipment. Hmm. Too cheap to put out for wi-fi, me thinks. So that will be tough for me. But WHO CARES?!?! It's a sleep study! I've always wanted to do one.
THEN Michelle called me, she had verified coverage with my insurance plan - good - and had confirmed I have to do a 6-month supervised diet first - BAD. But I can do it with my primary care physician and that's good! I have an appointment to see him on Monday, Valentines Day. Did I mention he's a chocoholic? He doesn't usually do diet supervision but I am going to bring him chocolate and convince him how easy it will be. Already going to see enough new doctors.
Michelle went on to tell me at about month 5 of the diet I will finish up the things like the psych evaluation and whatever else is left over. Liz called back and left me a voicemail saying that after my sleep study I need to see a pulmonologist to go over results of that. I will call to make that appointment tomorrow.
Finally. The ball begins to roll. *Gleeful grin*
