I start the beginning of March. My insurance requires primary dr recommendation, psych eval, 6 appoints with Nut, sleep apnea test, exercise module. I've only got 2 more Nut visits and will be finished on Aug 19th. I'm going on a cruise on labor day so will see if I can have surgery after that. I was bummed when I found out how long it would take too-- but now that I've got 3-1/2 months under my belt I am really glad that it is taking this long. This is such a life changing event that it is good to really prepare and get your mind in the right place. My doctor required me to lose or at least stay the same for each weigh in. I am so happy that I have already lost 35lbs! I am hoping that I'll lose at least another 16 by surgery so that I will only have 100 to lose post-surgery! This forum is fantastic- Thank you to everyone who continues to participate even after surgery and getting to goal. It is very encouraging to all of us newbies!
