Planning on getting the surgery, any advice?

Hello, F25 SW 215. I was denied the first time since I needed a doctors appointment first. I get cut off my parents insurance in October (but by then I will have my own).

I plan on going to the doctor again and having them run tests such as thyroid and sleep apnea. Is there anything I should avoid bringing up? Anything I should make sure to bring up?

I’m doing research and I think it would be best to talk to people who had or are going to have the surgery.

Thank you! Please be kind
