Date Question, And Is There Anyone Who Had To Do Six Months Get Their Surgery Sooner?

When do they start counting your days/months? I went yesterday, had a consult with the surgeon, was told what to do etc. The assistant told me my surgery would be in July. Yesterday was the 31st. Wouldn't my surgery be in August? How exact are they. I should have asked her at the time, but I forgot. My first appt with my doctor is on the 9th. Then she will start entering weight etc.

Also..

Anyone got their date earlier? I guess I don't think it would be possible since it's required for insurance that each month there needs to be a weigh in, but I have seen some people get earlier dates, but didn't ask them how.

Hi I am still in the process also. (Just finished my six month appointments today..yay!)..your appointments dont have to be exactly 30 days apart as long as you have a weigh in once per month at least 2 weeks apart (what my insurance company told me..I have carefirst bcbs of maryland) so if you time it right you could finish in the beginning of July..and depending on approval time and how fast your insurance company works could have surgery that same month.
