I am pretty close. I don't have to take a 12 week class but I have to do 4 month supervised weight loss program. I am glad for the time...to adjust my calorie intact slowly. I will end up a month behind. Next week is my first appointment next Wed. This was the first available since mid December

Wow! that is fast...I know I have to do 4 month supervised weight loss before I can get approval but I am happy for some adjustment time but I would like to have the surgery by end of June to allow recover time before I have a vacation "Road trip" planned. Nice thing with road trip...I can pack the car with plenty of grocery supplies.

Much further south for me I live in NW Florida... About 10 min from Lillian, AL. Around Orange beach Gulf shores area

Just curious, I notice people have surgery date October and December. why are they so far out? Is it due to insurance require the physician supervised weight loss. It just seems like a long time to wait with anticipation. I have just had my initial consult on 12/23. There are many medical test that I decided to push to 2016... to push meeting my annual deductible cap in 2016. At what point do you get a surgery date?

What part of Alabama...I live 8 miles from the stateless line.

I know church is suppose to be safe place but my plan is to limit the people tell for fear of judgement. You don't have enough faith...or you don't exercise enough self control. Keep in mind I am just starting this journey and it will be awhile before I would be sleeved if I get approval. I still have some initial test, psych evaluation etc to complete so I may change my mind. I have also witness others talk about people who they know have had surgery and has gained weight bad. I don't want to be that person. I guess I am still afraid of failure sorry this is not an encouraging post.... I have a relationship with Jesus but I struggle with church sometimes but I am faithful not to forsake the assembling.
