How long did you all have to stay in the hospital after surgery? I'd love to hear about your process and how things went if you're willing to share.

Thanks, @minimamaz00m - that's about the timeline I was thinking!

Holy cow, @JustLynn I'm glad you are okay, and glad to hear Dr. Fitzer was so great! I'm really getting excited!

Mind if I ask what your complications were?

Thank you both! I watched his youtube video last night as required and and really liked his style and personality. He definitely came across as over confident but I don’t mind that!

I will - is there something specific that is commonly missed?

I know this thread is old but if anyone is still around I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I did a search on medstar (which so far I had not been totally impressed with) and found this thread. Called Dr. Fitzer's office and have a consultation in 2 days!

Hi there. I've started the process and am curious to hear from those who have had the surgery regarding timelines. I know the ultimate answer is "it varies", just trying to hear experiences so I can know what to expect. My insurance only has one requirement, which is evidently pretty rare (she double checked twice) - my BMI. I meet that criteria. Given this, I'm curious if my timeline for possible surgery will be shorter or if I should anticipate the 6ish months most people experience. Thank you!
