Ell today is the first step:) I'm on my way to my seminar:) excited yet nervous:(

I did mine on the 9th, good luck i really enjoyed it

dont be nervous you will do great....

Now! What's next? How long does it usually take for the next step? Now I am more excited for this to start than I was before the seminar:-)

Yay, well each Dr. Is different, and so is each insurance, For me i did a fast track seminar, where i had some of my appointments right after the seminar. You should call the Dr. Office and tell them you want to make an appointment for the next step. I have to do blood woork, attend 2 support group meetings, get an xray, have a physc eval, and i believe 2other things i cant remember, plus my insurance requires me to do a 90 diet. Im looking at a end of summmer surgery date.

Ok do today I called and schedules ALL of my evaluations:-) I'm looking at an August surgery date:-) I have to do a 3 month diet and exercise plan sooo:-) my first eval is next Wednesday:-)

Depends on Insurance mainly. There are a lot of hoops to jump through before you actually get a surgery date. From my seminar to surgery it was

3 1/2 - 4 months.

I understand there may be a little wait just being optimistic!

Just being optimistic!

My journey was a seminar, consult with doctor, signed off med records to bariatric tem which took some time, denial of insurance because I didn't have documentation of supervised diet from primary doctor, then after approval, psych consult, nutrition consult, measurements and photo, a couple of information classes, another surgeon consult to go over procedure, two week diet including liquids only... And voila surgery!!!!

Your surgery date will be here before you know it. When I was being wheeled into surgery, I just start crying out of the blue. I just could not believe how fast time flew.

Good luck! Mine was a 6 month documented diet, now I am just waiting for the approval. Can't believe it, but it really did go by fast and I have learned a lot too!

dionaw

Mine was also a 6 month documented diet. I got really sick and had to wait 2 more months for a total of 8 months. It seems like time flew.

Thanks for the encouraging words:-) I'm excited yet scared:()
