From reading everyone's posts I have to say I really lucked out. I looked over my paperwork yesterday and my first appointment was on March 27th. I had my surgery April 30th. My bmi was 40.1 with no co-morbidities. I had insurance approval and a surgery date in less than two weeks.

I have to admit it all happened so fast it was a little head spinning. There were days that I crammed in 3 appointments and the stress was unbelievable but I managed.

I am honestly not bragging, I just feel truly blessed.

I feel the same. It happen fast for me.

Mine happened fast as well, not as fast a you but went for my first Class on Jan. 28th and had surgery on April 9 which was a little over 2 months. I had to get lots of testing done first, sleep study, endoscopy, colonoscopy, etc. etc. For those 2 months I did so much running but it was all worth it in the end. I must say I am really tired of going to the doctors. I now have to have my gallbladder removed on the 26th of this month - arrrrggghhhhh.
