Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 I'm good to go! Barbara called me this morning and my packet was approved. Fighting the 4:45 traffic in Durham yesterday to get the packet in was worth it! (By the way in Chapel Hill, it is NORTH on I-85 off of 15-501, not south, LOL!) My tentative date of the 14th is now a real surgery date!!! Barbara had a question about my blood pressure medication because she didn't recognize the name but after I told her what it was she said that everything was good. I guess if you have a med that they aren't sure of, they will have to email Dr. R to make sure it is ok. I know Lara is waiting to hear on her packet and I have no idea what the question is, but Barbara did remind me that Dr. R is on vacation and might not want to answer email daily. (I'm still holding my breath for you Lara - turning blue as a matter of fact. :-)) It looks like we are getting a regular gang here in Chapel Hill. That is great. I hope we can be big supporters for each other. Now I have to decide what I want to eat one more time for the next 2 weeks! Ok, so those waiting for approval on the packet or still getting it together. I was anal retentive. I had everything in order as listed on the website, with my name written at the top of each group. Each item was stapled or paperclipped together and then I put the little yellow sticky notes as tabs for each item with the name of the category. Everything I did personally was generated off the computer. I made a blank physical form for my doctor that listed all the categories Dr. R wanted addressed and she went through it making pertinent notes for each item. I pre-filled some of the info out for my Dr. such as family history, etc.. Finally, for good measure I included an excell spreadsheet and chart that tracked my weight history for the last 15 years, taking the weights off of my medical records. That way my Dr. didn't have to do it. If anyone has any questions that I can answer about what I've done thus far, just let me know.
