Okay. I may have been wrong. Not that that happens often, but it does on occasion. I finally got thru to someone at my new doc's office. I found out that I won't have to do a 6-month pre-op diet. Whooo hoo. I have scheduled my appointment for the psych eval. Guy sounds about 100 years old. He is semi-retired and works from his home. Come in, said the spider to the fly....eeeeek. He charges $225 payable in cash only. I think there might be some report fee too. I don't care. Medicaid doesn't cover it so I went with the guy closest to home. Can't wait to get up early Tues. to make it there by 9 am.
I asked the surgeon's office about Medicaid requirements and was told that they really don't have any. I'm in a good position since I've already done all the pre-op testing. So, I'll sign some releases and get all my results sent in ASAP. I see my PCP on Weds. so we are moving right along. Of course, I have NO idea how long it'll take to actually get an appointment and then to schedule the surgery. I'm hoping for some time THIS year. Gotta get S moving on her journey too.
At this point, I don't care if I like the new doc, the nut, the nurses, etc. I can play the game with anyone. I want my band!! Hope the shrink doesn't decide that I need to be institutionalized. Hello macadamia ranch. Perish the thought!! I wogged for an hour today in the pool. I checked the scale too. Since starting the journey I've lost 6 pounds. After the liquid diet I was at 10 but some sneaked/snuck back on. Indeed. I'm feeling much more positive now. The ups and downs these past 2 weeks have made me crazy.
