I was told by a rep that the turn around time is 2 weeks or less...I'm waiting now it's been a week, keep you posted on time frame....

Great!!!

It's like when you've been reading and absorbing the information for the surgery then surgery can't come soon enough!!

I have been looking into this for about 1.5 years- reading, figuring out which Doctor I was comfortable with- so now I'm just Ready!!

I think most people are the same. I read posts on here daily- then I think about different holidays and wonder what size I will be then.

We went with friends to the Casinos on Sat. night-buffet dinner- it kinda grossed me out- then I kept thinking- thus us my last buffet I will be a part of- cause what a bunch of food and I won't even come close to eating that much-

I have been mindful of menus and thinking- sleeve options would be...

Just ready!!

I'm hoping this will be a quick turnaround for me too. Thanks for all the responses.

I feel like you I'm so excited I've research all I can and still learning new things everyday, I'm suppose to have surgery may 12th, at times I find myself getting nervous but I've learned that everyone gets nervous, I'm like you just ready....

Are you doing a pre surgery diet?

I'm 5"2 and at 233. I won't get a surgery date until the end of July-

no not yet Hun I actually have Hpylori so I'm being treated for that now I have to take meds for 10 day they say I won't prolong my surgery so my fingers are crossed, can't wait to start pre op diet girl I'm just ready...are you in Illinois

I live in Nebraska. My ins plan and a work policy is that to use leave time like short term disability / that I have to be at my work a year first/ in the ins plan for VSG surgery I have to be here a year as well-

So I am doing all the stuff, so the surgeons office can fax in a letter on that date for approval.

Well ladies my approval letter came and I must say UHC was excellent and the program was awesome I'm glad I had 6 months it allowed me to get prepared mentally.....my letter came 1 day shy of two weeks...hope this helped
