OMG! April 16th!

I got my surgery date today!! It is exactly 3 months after I started the program (which most people said couldn't be done). I am sooooo excited. It still feels like forever away, but atleast I have a goal in sight now.

I started all of mine in September 2012 and my surgery is on February 25. So I had five months of waiting

Well my info session was in the beginning of November, so its been longer than 3 months. But since I actually was accepted into the program, it will be 3. :)

Well I'm jealous! LOL! I had to do a 12 month program before they would give the approval so April 17th marks the date. I can have my surgery that day or anytime there after. I hope they do it in the month of April that would really make me happy! Congrats to you both!

Congrats Everyone!!! :) wishing u all much success!!!!

Hahaha My referral for surgery was sent Dec 2011… that's not a typo! 2011!! I've been waiting a loonnngg time! I can't believe The months have passed by but march 25 still seems sooo far away. :-)

Patience patience.

Wow that's crazy! I'm sorry you guys had to wait so long! I was really fortunate.

I started mine Jan 15th and having surgery Feb 26th. You have to be a bitch and tell everyone your spots need to be NOW and follow up and then follow up again. I'm on Medicare and did not have to jump thru hoops time wise. One week liquid nearly killed me but just one more day.

Omg congrats! My insurance requires a 3 month supervised diet but it ends April 16th, so I did pretty good at being pushy. I was really nice about it though. They said they've never had someone as "motivated" as me lol.
