I received my verbal approval on the 17th' date=' and my actual approval letter the next day on the 18th. I guess when I look at it that way, it has just been a full business week. Lol. I can't help but be excited to move forward :)[/quote']

I would assume you'd get it this week :). I know how you feel! I'm trying to be patient myself but am ready now lol.

I need fast help....I have nutrition class in the morning and can't find my notes on it any where. Can some that has been to the class at St Vincent's Carmel please tell me what time it starts.

My paperwork said to be there at 8:30am

Is it this Tuesday? I was thinking it was the 2nd Tuesday of the month. I'll be out of town for work so won't be able to make it. I'm planning on going to a group this month but just not sure which one. Thought it would be nice to see a friendly face :).

I'm from Southren Indiana in Austin, just got approved Friday find out Monday what will be the surgery date will be

I will be having my surgery by Dr. Cooper in Seymour, he does the robotic surgery , I'm just glad it will be near home. Does everyone go through the robotic surgery?? Still waiting to find out when, I been trying to do this since January . I think they ran me every test the could think of, heart Cather etc etc etc. all my steps are done. But at the same time I wonder if its the surgery that will help me loose the weight and keep it off, and help me subdue my hunger. I hate having a plate stack up high with food, eating it and filling full but five minutes later I'm starved . I just hopes it helps with this, I been fight my weight since 2000,

Hey hey! I'm from Scottsburg and Coop did my surgery too. Due to scheduling, he didn't use DaVinci on me. Schneck is a wonderful place. I actually ended up having a leak (not his fault or mine, it was a faulty staple) and I spent a month in 2N. The nurses are wonderful :)

Omg.. That long in the hospital .. So how are you doing now? How is you venture going on weight and eating ? I been to 3 of the support group meeting at the hospital not counting the one I was required to do.. I'm still waiting for them to call and tell me the date for surgery , I'm wanting to call them but I will wait till tomorrow if I don't hear anything then I will call.

I'm from Westville. Having surgery in Merrillville.

I'm from crown point had sleeve at methodist 5/21/13 dr.siatras
