"I went to Dr. Horrilleno's mandatory conference and it was very good, I have been researching the surgery for the last 5 months so I knew alot about it already. I had been pre-approved by my insurance already but I didn't like the original surgeon and his office staff. Dr. H's office is great and he is very thorough. Even though I was pre-approved I still had to go see a cardiologist, a psychriatrist, have lab work and a sonogram of my gall bladder. I am happy to say all that is left before I get my date is the sonogram which I am having Saturday 8/10. Then I will go see Dr. H and hopefully get a date in the near future. I have been so depressed for so long and the thought of having this surgery is the only thing keeping me going... I am so excited... will post more when I have a date set....hopefully soon!!!!!!!!!!!
