My answer is vague i'm afraid - everyone is different in the speed of getting approved

if you have all the proper requirements - high enough BMI - co-morbities - you should be approved in other words the "worse" you are' date=' the better!! :(:)

i've heard people say it took them a few months, i've seen others that applied on a "Friday" and hear a positive response within the week

as others have said - you will have a very very small new tummy

following all the "rules" of drinking and eating little portions - not grazing (eating all day) you can't help but lose weight!!!!

btw - your fears are common to others, so you are not alone

good luck[/quote']

Thank u ya everyone is different im going to do this no cheating

My first office visit was 9/9/2012. I had a six month supervised diet and I am getting sleeved tomorrow 3/18/2013. The time went so quickly my head is spinning.
