I'm sept 2nd as well!

My date is 9-2-15 as well!

Hi Krista That is awesome to hear. I am three weeks out from my surgery with dr. Soong. Have you been attending any of the support groups?

My surgery is scheduled for next month. I don't want to tell anyone but have to say something to my boss. Any suggestions as to what type of surgery would be equivalent to the sleeve as far as recovery time and restrictions?

You need to find out if your insurance requires it or not. Who is your advocate? Mine gave me the name of the physiologists that took my insurance and I scheduled with him right away as his schedule fills up fast. You can't get the blood, ekg or chest X-ray until you are finished with all your nutrition classes. So as soon as I had a date set for final class I made an appointment with my primary care doctor to get those things done.

I'm going to the same office but with dr. Soong. Are you self pay or insurance? I used insurance and had to go to three nutrition classes. Actually two classes and the last one was a one on one with nutritionist. If you are required to have psych eval make sure you get that scheduled. I have finished jumping through the hoops but they were not able to schedule my surgery until sept 9th due to that was the first available date. Happy to answer anything I can.

hi beutwithin, how did surgery go and how are you doing? I finally got my surgery date of sept 9. Hi blessed, which surgeon are you going with?

My revision from band to sleeve is finally scheduled! September 9! It bums me out that it's not sooner. I started this journey in February of this year. I've jumped through all the insurance hoops and now I still have to wait due to surgeon being busy ????. I have to keep telling myself that September will be here before I know it and he must be good since he so busy. Lol

I have Sierra health and life. All my hoops are jumped through and should be getting a surgery date any day now.

Hi, I'm in vegas as well. Still jumping through insurance hoops so don't have a date yet. Hoping for the end of July. My surgeon will be Dr. Soong
