I am so excited! They called me after submitting my papers on Thursday for my insurance and I have a date to see the surgeon on April 18. I am hoping that this means that day I will get my two week diet to then have my surgery. Is that the procedure? Or will it be more waiting? Either way I am truly excited cause its finally becoming a reality, I have been on this journey since September and hopefully May will be my last day being FAT!

HOORAAAYYY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks so is that how it works once I see my surgeon I'll be schedule for surgery two weeks later?

Depends on your surgeon, his schedule, your insurance...many factors. I was self pay, so they pretty much said..."when do you want to schedule it for??" I traveled to Dallas, saw the surgeon and had surgery 3 days later. Every doc operates differently. If your BMI is lower, you probably won't have to do a 2 week diet. (mine was 55, so I did have to) Some only require 3 days or 1 week. You'll have to see what he says.
