    oh HEY! I'm relatively close to you. ;) My doctor is Dr. Suggs. Hope all is going well with you and looking forward to chatting with you!

    Hey guys and gals! I have my last appointment for insurance approval on the 29th of this month. So, I'm hoping for a December 9th, 12th, or 14th date which is between semesters for me. I'll be having my surgery in Birmingham, AL with Dr. Pennington at Grandview. I'd love to meet folks in or around Alabama or people that have a surgery date close to mine so we can motivate each other! Can't wait to chat!!

    Hey!!! Good to see someone in Bama! You'll have to keep me posted about your progress. I'm in a FB group titled "JANUS" and we are all Nov and Dec sleevers. You should join us! That way we can keep up with each other a little better. ????

    Hiiii! I'm hoping for a December date too! I just had my transnasal EGD yesterday and have completed my nutrition appointment along with 5 of my 6 required MD weightloss visits. My last MD visit is on the 29th! I'm waiting until December because I'm in grad school and that's between semesters for me. I hope I don't have any issues with approval!

    Hi!!! I'm also having mine at Grandview with Dr. Pennington! I will be finished with my insurance stuff (BCBSAL) in August and will, hopefully, be approved shortly after then grab my date! When are you having yours?? Us Birmingham folks should keep in touch!

    We really should keep in touch! Where are you from vsg4kristin? How do you like your doctor?

    I live in Birmingham and my doctor is great! He was highly recommended by some coworkers. Also, I had an initial meeting with Dr. Schmitt before choosing my MD. I just felt rushed with him. Dr. Pennington took his time, answered all of my questions, told me what to expect, and I really liked that. ????

    We should all be each other's support! It's awesome to find people that are local.

    @@MNovalis when did you start your journey?

    Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

    I first saw Dr. P back in December and my insurance requires 6 months of doctor supervised diet. So July 18th will be my last of those. Hopefully I am looking at an early August surgery........ I've been for my cardiac tests, my EGD, nutrition and physical therapy meetings. Got all of that behind me. Feel like I'm turning the corner now!
    I guess I should read everything before replying! LOL!! How was the EGD? Mine's in August and I'm nervous!
