I long wait?but it?s hopefully almost over.

Okay after about 4 months, I finally have everything done. Nutritionist, psych eval, chest x-ray/upper GI, now I have to wait for the surgeon to sign off and then wait for United Health Care to approve me. This could take and another 2 to 3 weeks but I'm optimistic. Hopefully I can get banded in early Feb. I'm so ready to see my waist line again lol.

    I have UHC and they were very quick at getting my approval, but your surgeons office and you PCP have to be on top of things. Dont stand by and wait make sure you stay on them. Good luck!
