    I'm in Atlanta. My first appointment at Emory Midtown location is tomorrow. Not sure of how long the process is before I get a date but I sure hope it's within two months.

    Today, I am One Month, Two Days out from my Mommy Makeover (Tummy tuck, butt lift, fat transfer, Lipo, breast reconstruction, and lift, as well as augmentation) with Dr Niebles ( Neibles) in TJ Mexico.
    This man is a miracle worker, and I feel like I am finally in the body that I was meant to be in my whole life!
    I had my gastric sleeve May 15, 2012.
    Lost my weight (110lbs) right away, and then stayed at my goal and held for 6 more months until May of this year, and booked my body reconstruction with not so high expectations of the outcome. Every day I look at my body and I can't believe that it's mine! I am finally in the body that I belong in! I am about 10 more lbs down. I could NOT be happier with my new body and my new LIFE!

    Just make your appointments as soon as possible. Find out what your insurance company requires for approval and to move forward with surgery. A letter of necessity to is good, but you if you're going through your insurance, you will need to understand exactly what they require. It will save you a lot of headache and heartache later on.
    Some insurance companies require 6 months of supervised diet programs. Others require only 3 consecutive doctor visits, others require a number of nutritional visits, etc. It depends.
    Good luck on your journey. Btw, if you're self-pay, of course that changes things a bit.
    I started on Aug 15th with my 1st doctor's visit..and now I'm just waiting for them to call me with a date. Everyone is different.
