Just wondering if anyone else has this & if so how hard was it to get approved?

Thank you.. Yea I go the 9th for my first sleep study & then if they see anything I have to go back the 14 for the Cpap one.. I was just hoping they wouldnt postpone my surgrey b/c I might need that machine..

OK SO I am schedule do do my sleep study test here in a few days. My question is this say AFTER the results come back & say the dr say I do have sleep apnea will they postpone my Surgrey date?

OK I went to my Sleep Study Consult today & he thinks I have Sleep Apnea. I go next Wednesday night for the testing.. My question is if they say I do have it will Postpone my surgery?

Went to my psych. Evaluation not to bad. That will take her 2 weeks to get back to Charlene. One good thing was she was able to give me phone # to a Sleep apnea doctor in Newark & called them & they just got a cancelation for tomorrow So I get to go tomorrow And do my sleep apnea consult appointment & hopefully schedule my test soon. So the only thing left is my nutrition class but that will have to wait till after Christmas because they want $ 200.00 up front & I want to get Christmas out of the way. So I am getting things done a lot quicker than I thought .

k sense my last post I decided to call around & suck up the long drive & I now how a appointment for my psych. evual. Monday :thumbup:

I am hoping for a mid to late January. unfortunally can not get my psych or sleep study done till the beginning of the year?:ohmy:

Today I had a with Meeting Dr. Miller. really liked him. Now in the process of Step 2 of this Journey... Doesn't look I can move forward till after Jan. Good thing is I only need to do 3 things: Psychological Clearance, Sleep Study & of course Bariatric Nutritional Education. I went with one of there Dr's (Dr. Michael Saribalas) who does both Psych & Sleep study @ the same Appointment. Unfortunately I cant get him into Him till Jan. 8 Th :ohmy: My Insurance doesn't require any supervised diets. I still need to decide which band I am going to use.

So this time tomorrow I will be @ my appointment. Have to admit I am excited :biggrin: but @ the same time a Little nervous.:biggrin:.

Wishing every one good :thumbup:luck on tomorrow banding!!

The Seminar I went to I took my 17yr old daughter with me & there was people who brought LITTLE kids there. There was a decent amount of people @ the one I was @ but not extremely crowed.

Good Luck on every ones surgrey tomorrow!!:w00t:

Congratulations !:thumbup: & Welcome to the forum. I myself have found this board very informational & hope you do to. I am also just getting started. I go see the surgeon the 24th of this month & hopefully can get thing rolling..

Just wondering how all the new lap banded people are doing?

I'm So Excited .. I got My Phone Call today… I go meet with Dr. Marcus Miller On the 24th of this month..:smile2: Can some one tell me a little what to expect in this meeting:confused:? They say its about 2 to 2.5 hours long.

wow I could only hope my would be that quick, but after talking to other people who had it @ the same place I guess mine could take up to 6 months from day of my fist meeting.

Just wondering how long it took some of you from the time you attended the seminar till your actual surgery? I attended my seminar on the 21st of October & got my folder filled out my paper work & sent it in on the 22nd got my acceptance letter the 30th & on the Nov. 2nd sent that paper work plus my $ 300.00 fee in & just waiting for my phone call to set up my first appointment. My $ 300 has done cleared the bank so hopefully I hear something by the end of this week.. Man I hate waiting lol:bored:

Just wondering How you are doing so far Floridainohio? May I ask how long did it take from the time they called you (after you sent your fee in) to your actual first appointment? I checked my checking today & they are taking out my 300.00 fee so It is just a matter of time before I get my phone call.:thumbup:

Thanks every one.. This waiting stuff is hard. I keep telling myself its just a matter of time before they call & I can really get the ball rolling!

Well my husband seen how bad I wanted to get this done :thumbup: & let me go ahead & send my $300. & paper work in yesterday so now just sit & wait for the phone call for my 1st Appointment! I am getting so excited :thumbup:
