I'm going to see what happens..if my work gripes about taking off then I guess I will wait...ugh

Thanks..the dctrs office called me today & straightened things out.but it still may be the end of August before its submitted to Ins..oh well..guess I'll just go with it.

I feel your pain..I have everything done & 2 months left on the diet..& the nurses still won't give me a time frame for a surgery date..did I mention that I got lost in their system also...wandering now if All this is worth it..besides stressing me out

Good luck to you..I've just had so much happen to me that I'm getting very discouraged..my very first appt they had my height wrong.so I didn't qualify then they redid that so I did qualify. .then the surgeons office lost me in their system..now I've had all summer being off work which would have been a great time for me to get the surgery. .so I call today to check on a time frame about surgery. .& the girl said nothing can be done until end if August. ..feeling like I have done all this for Nothing!!!!

I started my 6 mo diet on march 5 & I was told that my approval for surgery cannot be submitted until August 27..when I go back to work..I work at school & was hoping to have surgery while I was off during summer break..But It doesn't look like its going to work out that way...depressed

And my doctor is going on vacation in 2 weeks..I'm trying to be strong & dedicated..but its getting hard

Im getting aggravated..could someone tell me what happens on the 3rd appt when u see the doctors assistant..I work at school & am off for the summer & have finished all the required testing but I'm running out of time to have this surgery while I am off work.. Someone plz tell me if I'm ever going to get a surgery date Plz.

Thanks everyone..I've had all my other tests done so this will be my last one..I'm hoping I get a surgery date after this one

Has anyone had to have this? I would like to know what to expect. Thanks

Thanks for info..I went today for my endo & found out I have one also.

Thanks for sharing..I go next week for my appt

I'm new to the journey also..had my consult..now really hoping this 6 months flies by

Great that is a lot to take in But Thank you sooo much..I will be busy on the phone tomorow.

Thanks, I also have Meritain..I just started my 6 mo diet & am so confused on things..Ihad to call dctrs office the other day because I didn't know how many shakes the doc wanted me to have & I didn't really understand..am I suppose tocall & make my appts with the psych & other appts I need????

I'm on the same time frame, I just started the 6 month diet &I am so ready to get everything going..I'm really hoping I can get the diet cut down & have surgery this summer...

I'm starting my 6 month diet ..Yay!

I went back to my primary. Dctr today & instead of my height being 5'4" it's 5'2" so now the Bariatric dctr shld not refuse me...especially since that puts my BMI alot higher! We will see..Wish me luck

My journey hit a roadblock..my primary care doctor put down the wrong height for me so my BMI wasn't high enough & she also didn't write down any comorbidities for me..So now I have To go back & have her measure my height. & Hopefully she will get it right this time!! Ugh!

Thanks for all the helpful information..I called my ins today & it sounds like everything is going to work out..Wish me luck.

I'm new to this journey..my first appt with the dctr is this Thursday & I have been reading that some people have to do a 6 month diet program..So what I am wandering is why the 6 month diet??
