After a long 7 months and a few issues with the surgeons office I finally got my date! October 29th. Surgery at Noon but have to be there a couple hours in advance. Just glad this is finally happening for me.

I'm the 29th too can't wait !

Anybody know what the average upfront surgeon fee is? I wasn't aware that it wasn't included in insurance?

Best of luck to all of you about to have surgery. I am only 6 weeks out and couldn't be happier with my progress thus far. I have lost a total of 31 lbs (inc pre-op liquid diet) and I feel great. The liquid diet is HARD but important - it gives you a great jump start on the weight loss and definitely helps shrink your liver to make it easier for the surgeon to operate on you.

Remember to just rest and take good care of yourself after the surgery.

Set yourself up to succeed by organizing everything in advance and making sure you have what you need both at the hospital and once you get home.

Best wishes!!

I'm having to pay 350$ out of my pocket to the surgeons office but I don't know if that's average or not

I'm so happy for ALL of you! Hoping to join you soon!
