First Visit

I did see my surgeon for the first visit today. I have multiple tests to do for clearance. My insurance requires 3 months of monthly visits as well. It is a marathon not a sprint, I guess.

Be thankful you have insurance, many of us had to pay the whole thing out of pocket! Best of luck to you. (By the way, it's worth the wait!)

Thank you, I am so grateful that I do have coverage.

It is a marathon, but worth it. Think of the requirements as good things that will get you really thinking about what is in store for you down the road in order to be successful. I'm very happy I had this done, but also glad I thought long and hard about it. Welcome and best of luck with the insurance requirements. I consider myself very lucky to have had insurance.

Yep, it's a long but very fulfilling ride.
You are lucky that you have so many check ups to keep an eye on what is going on with your body.

Congrats!

I spent a lot of time reading everything I could here and watched lots of YouTube videos.
