Feb 13th Surgical Appointment

I have previously completed the seminars and workshops ....Today I met with the Surgeon @ Cleveland Clinic. I just barely make the BMI requirement of 35...but hopefully with my strong apnea, I will get insurance approval. Now I need to go down the list of all the other checkups and bloodwork that is needed to be cleared for the next step.

Hi lotsof, I only have a coupleofkids...anyway I was interested in your post because I am also planning on having my surgery done at CC I go to the work shop on Wednesday. What's that like, and how long after that do you think I can get an appt with one of the surgeons? I was hoping for Dr. Shauer (sp?) but I heard the other one is good too. I'm sure they both are. Anyway, if you have any info Id love to hear it. I have had a few setbacks along the way...but that's a long sob story and I don't feel like getting into it again tonight. I was kinda hoping to be able to have surgery scheduled over spring break but that maay be wishful thinking...?
