I can't believe I have to wait 4 months for surgery! :)

I am reading pages and pages of posts describing one great result after another. The before and after pictures are amazing. I just had my first consultation in May, which started me on the "surgical track." Between classes, seminars, nutritionist, behavior management, I have 2 more months until they will even let me schedule surgery! Is this typical? I'm glad that I will be well prepared for this, but I just don't want to wait any longer to get started. Is there a way to speed things up a little, or does is vary with surgeons.....

Im in the same boat....It really all has to do with insurance requirements etc. Hang in there! It will come soon enough.

Time will fly and trust me it so worth the weight. xx

I had to wait 6 months.

I started this 10 months ago, finally got a date next month

good luck

Thank you. I only know 2 people personally that had this done and it seemed to move quickly. I thought that maybe the program I was going through was more extensive. Sounds like it's typical. Thank you and good luck to you all.

Hi April,

I met with the doc at the end of April and went to orientation May 5th and visisted teh nutrionist 6/5. I too due to insurnace am on the 6 month track. Looking at a surgery date in October or November. They made it clear to me that after I have gone thru my 6 months of visits (nutrionists/shared medical appointments) I would then have the pscyh done and at that point I'd get a surgery date.
