It went well! He was really nice. I mostly just remember him asking about my support system. I told him I had my husband and family rooting for me, so he was happy for me and not concerned at all. It was pretty chill. :)
@@jessicadavis5871 yes! My mom was able to come and stay the night with me. I don’t know if things have changed since I went, but I’m guessing you’d still be allowed a visitor :)
Also how quick was the process since you didn’t have to meet with the surgeon 6 times? All I have left to do before I meet with Dr. Bovard again is the psych evaluation and cardiac test. Endoscopy will be scheduled when I meet with him at the end of this month.
@@jessicadavis5871 all in all, it took 4 months from when I first started with him to when surgery was scheduled. Started meeting in January and surgery was originally booked for April 10th. But due to COVID, it got pushed to may 22
Thank you Mariah for your honesty. I appreciate that you are so down to earth and explain well the process.
Thank you so much! I’m glad I can be of help. I try to be as transparent as possible so I can help people get answers to all the questions I had!
Yes thank you this was just the video I was looking for.
How was the psych evaluation ? I have it scheduled for may 12th with Dr.Thomas and I’m nervous.

That makes me feel better about it now.
Hi I have started the process with Wake Med and Dr. Bovard will be my surgeon.
Oh my goodness yay!! He is seriously the best, I’m super excited for you!🥰
@@MariahKuta were you able to bring someone with you the day of surgery with Covid going on and all?

Do they drug test you
They do a series of blood tests. I do believe they check for smoking but I’m not 100% sure.
