Congrats. Wow we are all so close together. I'm nervous so it's comforting knowing that I have friends going through this. I have my barium Friday....yuck!!!

Mine from start to finish was about three months.

My first consult was the beginning of September 2017, and my surgery was March 20, 2018. So, I had about 7 months in between, but I was able to start getting used to my new way of eating, and I was able to drop some pounds (not as much as I hoped, but still).

My journey started in October 2017 and I had surgery in June of this year. I think it all depends on what your insurance requires

Met my surgeon on May 24th, had my surgery on July 6th...so mine was pretty quick, too. Thankfully I was on the surgery schedule before I had my insurance approval or it probably wouldn’t have been so quick. The office understood and supported having it done in the summer with enough healing time before I go back to school (I’m a teacher).

Thank you!! Excited for you as well! 3 more weeks!! Eeekkk!!

Just curious on how long some ya'lls process was from first surgeon/doctor consult to surgery date. I feel really lucky on how fast everything has gone for me (mainly due to the minimum requirements from my insurance). Had my very first surgeon consult on June 27th, insurnace approved July 25th, and surgery scheduled for Aug 20th! My nerves were bad waiting just the one month...lol. How did ya'll do??

My first consult was in January, my surgery is Aug 6.

My process was much longer. I had my first consult in December 2017 and had surgery April 12, 2018. It's a lot to wrap one's head around. Good luck!

No nerves here, unsure why maybe because I've had a surgery before such as Breast Lift and Augmentation, so with saying that go into it as positive as possible ladies we will all be ok and get through this with no issues or complication, IN JESUS NAME..AMEN.. God Got This! Think Positive and Bring Forth Positive. One of my saying is Change the way you think and Change your Life.

I'm so excited! My surgery was approved by insurance and my date is scheduled for 8/29/18. I am sooooo excited

Good Morning Everybody!! I am excited to join the forum! I live in the DFW area and my VSG surgery is scheduled for Aug 20. I am looking forward to learning and gaining new ideas as I head into this wonderful new journey!

Hello to you. I am brand new too. I have my surgery on Aug 24th. I'm having it done endoscopically. I'm so excited for you and me too. Good luck to you friend.

Welcome! The forums are full of great information and some interesting people. Good luck on your journey!

Congrats and welcome!

Does my buddy @ Orchids and Dragons know you have arrived? She lives in a South Side Fort Worth suburb, is a sleeved so knows a lot about "sleeve,mechanics" so would make you a great resource person. She has been there when I've had questions, and I have had more than a few. And if you have any questions you need answered. either I or someone else may have just the right answer. Your doctor and his staff,have a lot of "book learning" but often we have walked the walk and have practical experience. Welcome Again!
