Anxiously awaiting insurance approval and scheduling of surgery.  I am currently on a 1500 calorie a day diet required pre-op.  I am really hoping I hear something this week!!

My appointment with Dr. Tanner was wonderful.  He was very informative and put me at ease.  After the appointment I was back in Dr. Bradley's office having some labs drawn and doing a pulmonary functioning test for insurance clearance.  They also scheduled me for a bilateral lower extremity ultrasound, to rule out blood clots in my legs, a echocardiogram-for cardiac clearance and an EGD, since I have had some issue with heartburn in the past.

All of those things are past me and we are just waiting.  I am so ready to get that extra help I need to once and for all finish this "Reach".
