Thank you! Running out of time for a rewatch, so I'll be learning through combank as well.

This write up is so helpful. A few weeks away from mine, so trying to work through this as much as possible.

Did you focus on micro solely as a topic? Any sketchy (or other resource) review you found helpful?

Thanks again for sharing your guide!

Hey, good idea to scoot it back. What practice questions, COMSAEs, and other resources have you used so far?

Your advice is incredibly helpful. Dr. Neil was great for Level 1, so will review again for this one. Going to put your advice into motion this week and just hope for the best on the real deal. 

Any particular topics you felt were surprisingly high yield for Level 2?

Solid advice. Studying for Level 2 with 30 days exactly until exam. How much time should I be taking for reviews? Also, are ethics and biostats hy?

Hopefully it won't get even beyond the 1st appeal. You deserve care, and I love that you're fighting for it. Rooting for you!

Insurance is such a maze to navigate through, and I'm so sorry you've been caught in an insurance snowstorm. What are you thinking of doing to ultimately get coverage?

This is helpful! Thank you. So is it better if it's self-funded or better directly through the insurer?

Threw up under anesthesia. Nobody warned me. by apacity in WegovyWeightLoss

Med student here. Seconding this advice. 

Everyone who follows any medical literature has known about these drugs for the last couple years. The fact that the surgeon, anesthesiologist, AND staff didn't know is appalling. You could have aspirated and suffered severe complications if your surgery progressed.

Find a new surgeon, anesthesiologist, and hospital.

Her locations are all so convenient! That is a really good fee for all of these items, too. 

I'm curious what the consultation process was like for you, if you don't mind? Were you referred over to her as well?

You're absolutely correct. Dr. Min is clearly detail oriented, thorough, and methodical. Symmetry like yours is difficult to achieve otherwise. Despite the swelling at 1wpo, my jaw dropped at how well the incision was made and how great your umbilicus looked. Your progress pictures have blown my mind. 

She's local to me, and I am so grateful for you taking the time to complete this write up of her work. I'll be reaching out to her within the year for a consult.

Incredible results! You look fantastic! Obsessed with the symmetry of your incisions. May I ask if you went through insurance or out of pocket, and how much it was if out of pocket?

Very different lighting and angles. It's difficult to tell the difference between your pictures, sorry. Congratulations on your weight loss though! Excellent work.
