John Morton Bariatric Surgeon MD, MPH, FASMBS, FACS

IM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!! I just found out Thursday that my insurance company (Tricare Prime) approved my surgery. I will go Monday the 19th of August for a gallbladder ultrasound and then I will have my final meeting with the other surgeon (Dr. Ferrell)who performs the surgery with Dr. Morton on Monday, August 26th. At that visit I will meet him and get my pre-op stuff out of the way! I cant wait. I am so excited. I prayed to God and told him that if this was his will he would make sure I was approved the first time from my insurance company and sure enough, it came back approved. I am a bit nervous about the possibility of death and leaving my two young children behind but overall I am excited. Im sure I am not the only person to have felt this way before surgery. Losing side..... here I come!
