Yay! I just got my date! September 10! I can't believe how fast everything is moving July 18 was my consultation August 15 was my egd and Sept 10 is my surgery wow.. did it go this fast for anyone else?!

Wow tht was quick,i had to do the 6month nut/diet,sleep study,EGD,siminar....but my approval was quick it only took 2days to approve me my surgery date is sept 14, i wanted the 10th but couldnt dont know why but its not tht far from the 10th so i dont mind...could've had surgery sooner but im goin to florida(family vaycay)!!!!

Congrats! Mine went fast too....had my first consult June 25 and getting sleeved tomorrow! I am glad I did research before the process because it probably would have been way too fast and overwhelming to cram it all in a month and a half! Good luck with everything!

Good luck on your sleeve tomorrow!! and yes I'm glad I did my research too! because in less than a month I get mine! Keep me updated on how it goes!

lol yay vacation! that sounds like fun! and I'm glad it went fast after your six month wait!! I'll be up here in ohio healing, and you'll be in sunny florida lol best of luck to you!

Congratulations!

My first consult was at the end of May. At first, my insurance required that we do the 6 months of nutrition classes. Then after a month, I was notified that they reduced it to 3 months.

I'm going September 20. It's all downhill now. My pre-op is the 7th, EGD on the 14th and surgery on the 20th. It's going so fast.

That's awesome!! congratulations! and that is great that they reduced the diet for you! under my insurance I didn't have to do the pre diet, I just had to have a 5 year history of obesity, ( um I've been fat my whole life easy peasy lol) be over the age of 21 ( I'm 24) and have a bmi of 40 or 35 with an ailment ( I have both lol ) and ( I'm on my dads insurance ) and they cover obesity. so I'm assuming that is why everything went so smoothly. But we're only getting sleeved 10 days apart! go us! lol Keep me updated for sure!

YES YES YES - I'm September 10th as well....whoo hoo. I'm my way to visit with the surgeon...I have 3 pages of questions.....feel sorry for him!!

Mufasasmom! Yay!! we're the Sept 10th buddies! lol And fun times 3 pages of questions! good luck!

Still at dr ofc waiting they keep trying to lump me with the crap band people

Why would they do that if you're a sleeve? weird! Hope you're still not there lol

I'm having surgery Sept 17. One week after you. I'll be looking to see how you're doing! Best of luck!

well i have to say that I love my surgeon - what a great personality, he took all the time i needed to answer all my questions. I feel so much better and can't wait to begin.......wow - 3 more weeks....

Jammydancer! thanks so much for the luck! and I wish you tons of luck as well!

I know right?! I'm kinda in shock as of right now. because in a week and a couple days I'll be starting pre-op diet ( yay.. sarcasm) and then boom! On the tenth we're getting sleeved! It really is surreal. I'm happy and anxious all at the same time, how you feeling Mufasasmom?

I am on top of the world
