This Surgery Is All I Think About

I'm the type of person that when I get the idea to do something ; I want it done right away ; all I could think about is how much I would enjoy life after surgery & regain confidence in my self ; I can't wait to feel good and energized @ conquer the world ; I know GOD brought me into this world to become great & I feel that with the extra weight stops me from being me / I just spoke to my surgeon and we are almost prepared to send everything off I pray that my approval is quick and easy

    Don't wait for the surgery, prepare now - you will feel better, like you are doing something....read the books and get out to the support meetings, etc. Now would be a good time to get back into old

  • @skinnycupcake, I can totally relate! Once I made the decision to have this surgery, it's been ALL I can think about. I want it done yesterday! I'm self-pay, so I don't have to wait for insurance appr

Try entering his name in the physician's search box at the top of the page. It will show you anyone who's rated the doctor. Then you could send them a message to get their opinion. You can also read the reviews to help you make your decision.

The interval between selecting a surgeon and getting sleeved depends on several factors. The surgeon's work load, insurance requirements, pre-op tests and evaluations, etc. Good luck!
