Five Weeks Until Surgery!

Feb 19, 2013

     Today, I figured out how to blog on this site.  Why was I having such difficulty finding out about how to blog?  Apparently, I was running an old version of the site that did not give blog options.  Why was I running an old option?  Because I first opened an account with OH over 12 years ago.  There were entries written in '02 when I was trying to determine if my insurance would cover surgery.  I seriously looked at surgery again 5 years ago.  The surgeons in NoVa where I was living only did the pouch at the time.   I had a lot of questions about the pouch, and decided to pass after going through with four of the six steps needed for surgery with Kaiser Permanente.  Now I am on AETNA, and was approved for DS/ Gastric Sleeve surgery last week.  Now I am busy trying to get together the last tests and scans needed before surgery.  I now live in NYC, and am going to have Dr. Roslin do the surgery - one of the cutting edge (pun intended!) doctors out there for this procedure.  More history as I continue to blog.

As for today, it was a lost day for work.  My daughter, Maia, was down with a fever and upper ear infection, as well as throwing up in our bed at 6am.  That is a much quicker way than surgery to make me lose my appetite!
