Newbie!

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer. I came across this site through Google. I dont have my surgery date yet, but everything is moving so fast and Im starting to get nervous. I had my first bariatric appointment on Nov. 1st. Since then I have completed all of my referrals with the exception of 1 more Nutrition visit and the Endoscopy which is scheduled for Dec.27. I was told by my physician that this whole process would take 6months but on my last Bariatric visit I was told that I will get my surgery date on Jan. 3rd :-/ I wasnt nervous until she said it would probably be the end of Jan or early Feb!!! I was thinking March or April. Did things progress this quickly for anyone else? I dont know why Im so scared all of a sudden. :-(

I had an appointment with my surgeon on Nov and had my surgery Dec. 10 it was less than a month I counted myself lucky most people have to jump through a lot of hoops with insurance and everything.
