Don't I know it:) I started my process Jan. 5. My I insurance doesn't require all the bs some do. At my initial consultation I was told I'd be having surgery by March 1st. Because of waiting for Dr DiMarco I didn't have it until June 7th;) Is Dr Prashar one of his partners?[/quote']

My insurance doesn't require much either. I think Dr. Prashar is a newer Dr to the WLC. But I met with him on Tuesday n he was very nice, explained everything so well n even told me things like how many procedures he has done. So I feel very confident with him. I am hoping that It won't be much longer till I'm approved n can get a surgery date. When did they give u a date?

I think it went: intake appt, meet with dr weiger, meet with dr DiMarco, nutrition appt. At the end of the nutrition appt they gave me a choice of 3 dates. I also got my first post op appt scheduled at that time. But that may have been because DiMarco is only in the office on Monday. I think I may have met Dr Prashar when I was discharged.

I spent my early childhood years in Levittown Pennsylvania.

I lived most of my life in Michigan (Metro Detroit area).

I have been living in Pomona in Southern California for a little over 4 years. I work in Santa Ana

I had my Surgery at Chapman Medical center in Orange, CA

Before I moved to California I lived in Madison Heights. Not too far from Fraser!

A million years ago I had a boyfriend that lived in Fraser :)

I loved him he's very straight forward and tells it like it is. That's what I loved about him. When is your surgery date

I do not have one yet, but I am scheduled for all of my pre op stuff in the next two weeks. Nutrition on the 10th, Psych on the 18th, and endoscopy on the 25th! And then I guess insurance approval after that.

I'm from Manhattan, IL.

Hill Air Force Base, Utah

Surgery will be performed at the Bariatric Medicine Institute, Salt Lake City or at Pacific Bariatric in San Diego.

It is mind boggling to me to see the number of people who share the same struggles and stories. Love sharing with you all! You are each amazing people!!
