Doctor's records

They got 'em, finally. Hopefully they will be complete, this time. I am hoping they will take the Phentermine program I did all last year. If they do, I just have to get an appointment to have a pulmonology exam and then they can send everything to insurance. I am still hoping to have surgery before the end of the year. I know it is a long shot (long, long, looooong), but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Just got a voicemail from the pulmonologist's office. They have appointments available next week, which is a LOT sooner than I thought I could get one. I thought this would take the longest, since I just found out about the requirement right before Thanksgiving and had to get a referral from my PCP.

So now, all I am hoping for is that my insurance will take my Phentermine program. I was on it for an entire year, ending last December. Usually, my insurance requires people to have been on a three-month-long MD supervised diet program that ended within 6 months of applying for surgery. I am hoping against hope that they will decide that my year-long program shows that I am serious about this and not doing it on a whim. If not, my surgery will have to be put off until May, since I won't have time to have it during the college semester.
