Thanks everyone. I just received a call from my doctors office. They called the bariatric hospital that I will be going to and if I do have a tumor I have to get it removed first. They wanted to set me up with a specialist right away but I told them I would like to wait until after my blood work next week. I'd Like to make sure my Calcium is still high before they start sending me places. So now I feel like I've been doing my 6 months of managed weight loss with my doctor for no reason. I've never made it this far but looks like I won't be having surgery until next year.

Well laura-ven I hope they get the nodule taken care of and everything turns out fine I go in for blood work next Wednesday.

These tests are not fun at all I wish them on no one. My doctor wanted to send me to another specialist and I told him no since the first one didn't tell me anything but decided to tell me he was the weight loss surgeon at that hospital. That's great but not what I was there for. Also my labs are almost 2 years old so I decided to call and set up some blood work. Hoping my calcium levels have gone down. If not I still want to have the wls first that way they might be able to get better pictures when I've lost most of the weight. Time will soon tell.

Anyone Goshen Hospital, Goshen IN?

My insurance requires 6 months of visits with my doctor before I can be approved. My surgeon will be Dr. Dale Sloan. I know he requires 6 weeks of classes before and after surgery but I don't think 6 months of anything. -

I live in Elkhart! However my insurance doesn't cover Goshen so I have to go to Ft Wayne. Small price to pay for my life back. I've been to 2 seminars at Goshen though. They seem very nice and know what they are doing. Good luck! -
Hey! I'm right there with you. I'm hoping to have my surgery in November. Good luck!

I have not had my surgery yet but I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight. How long was it before you went back to work after the sleeve surgery? I work in an office where I'm sitting most of the day. Just trying to get an estimate of the time I'll need to take off. Thank you in advance!

Just a question.

Congratulations! I'll hopefully be sleeved in November. I'll be 27 next week. Maybe it won't take me that long but it's different for everyone. Thank you. -

Thank you! I just started back at my job almost a year ago so I'll only have a week vacation. Hoping that's all I'll need. My bosses are very nice though so I'm sure taking an extra week wouldn't be a problem, just the no paycheck would be the issue. -
I'm new here and I'm still working on the weight loss management with my doctor. I still have 3 months to go! Its very hard when you have no support. I'm only 26 but severely overweight. How did you guys make it through? Any support will help, thank you!
