I've began my journey to have surgery in december. I have HIP insurance & this 6 months process is taking forever. I can't wait to finally loose this weight & be normal again.

They mandate that to try to discourage you. Hand in there and carry on! Play their game and win!

Agreed. The waiting period takes forever. Hang in there.

Trust me. It goes by so fast. In may it will be a year and I'm still working on my pre op tests. Hoping for a april/may surgery date

Use this time to mentally and physically prepare yourself. Research and ask all the questions you want. Don't ever give up.

I feel so ready and all of my questions have been answered.

Best of luck

6 months really does fly by! Think about where you were 6 months ago... Doesn't seem that long ago does it? Hang in there, you got this!!

Thanks u all.

Let me tell you, I don't think anybody plays more games than Kaiser! I won't bore you with the details of the ordeal I went thru with them but I finally prevailed!!!! My journey has been going on for well over a year and a half and I FINALLY, FINALLY just recently received a surgery date. I know they were just waiting for me to give up but it was not gonna happen!!!!! Hang in there. It will be so worth it in the end (I'm hoping - LOL).
