Oh yes I most certainly do have the date set. I set it for Aug 5 nearly 3 months ago when I sent in my deposit. I wanted to set my date so I could buy my airline
ticket and arrange my days off at work Most people don't plan so far ahead but my situation to was that I don't have the $4500 cash for the surgery yet. I am still saving up.
I've researched my doctor a lot and continue to after sending in my deposit learning more about him with all the stories I find out about his current patients. I especially have learned SO much on facebook on the Sleeve Gastrectomy and Weight Loss Surgery groups.
