I went through Boston Medical Hospital Massachusetts. Met with the surgeon in June 2018 and had my surgery 11/28. With my program it went as fast as you could get the appointments. There was an order to who you had to see when (psych was last). Also there was all the medical tests that had to be done. I had already had sleep study as I am on CPAP machine, stomach tests as I had severe gerd/reflux. So that also cut down on my wait time. I took as many appointments any time they could give them to me. I started my pre op diet the day I met the surgeon and he gave me amount I had to loose. I lost quickly. Plus an additional 15lbs. But when I met with surgeon again in early November after I got my surgery date I had gained back all my weight. I thought I was done for. But he looked at me and said “ This is why you’re having this surgery, diets don’t work”. He wasn’t applauding my gain but was helping me understand how tough things are always going to be but with this TOOL I have a greater chance of reaching my goals. Good luck to you. Stay strong!!
