I went to the seminar back in September then in October began the 6 month primary doctor weigh ins. On April 1 my surgeon had all the records, but didn't send it off to insurance until the 6th. I received acceptance on the 20th, they didn't get theirs until the 23rd. That day I made my pre-baratric appointments and was lucky to get them all on the same day, May 13. The physical therapist and dietician said they would get notes to surgeon that day, BUT my psych said "within a week". So now I have to wait, have another appointment with my surgeon for pre-op, then begin my pre-op diet, THEN finally get a surgery date........:w00t: This is taking about as long as the adoption of my children!

WOW I attended a seminar on March 24th 2010 and I thought my process was long. I don't have a surgery date yet but I just have to lose a few more pounds before they submit for insurance approval. Hang in there!!! You have worked so hard - I am sure it will be well worth it. :w00t:

you are lucky,after my six months dietian appointments i had to wait 3 months before my surgery.i started in april 08-sept 08.had to wait out the holidays.
