New hospital/Surgeon

http://austinbariatric.com/default

AIBL is a sole Bariatric facility. I called them today after speaking with the General Surgery nurse at Darnall.

She told me to find a place with a Shorter wait time then call tricare. I did and found Dr. Ganta. They told me that there is no wait list & since I already have some of the pre-op stuff done that they'll accept i should be able to start my 2 week pre-op diet before June is over.

Called tricare and it was super easy to get it switched! So now I just play the waiting game for the new office for all of my insurance paperwork to be done. (she said to expect a call within 4 days).

I'm still not 100% on which one I want yet. Sleeve or bypass. Why can't the decision be easy? Lol.

Good news!

Tricare approved my refferal! I'm just waiting for a return phone call from the surgery clinic to get some of my questions answered. Questions like.

I've already done the seminar, nutrition, & mental evaluation, will I have to do it again for the new hospital?

How soon before I can start the pre-op process?

Oh man, good news!
