Now what?

I am a newbie to blogging. I have gotten as far as an upcoming appointment for the consult with the surgeon. I have done the required classes and have gotten the approval letters from the behaviorial specialist and the nutritionist. For some reason I thought we were told in class that we would meet with surgeon, which is my next appointment and then the surgery date is set and then you find out if you are approved by the insurance. Are you saying that when I go for the consult they are going to call me with a surgery date, and that I am probably not going to get a surgery date that day? They really do drag this on dont they!

WELCOME to LBT! It does take forever. Every doc is different on giving a date (mine only did this after they submitted everything for approval). Good luck! -BG
