Merced turlock Modesto California?

Yes I have to pay for the nutritionist and waiting for the psychologist to call to set up an appointment. Then once those are done and I get the insurance approval I have to attend the 4 hour class at memorial. How long did it take you from your first consult to have the surgery?

My approval took 3 1/2 months from first consult to actual surgery. Once I got my insurance approval it took another couple of weeks for actual surgery date. I think my journey was fast compared to some other posts I have read. I also had to pay for my nutritionist because the one my insurance approved had a three month wait. I was told by another person who had the surgery to not wait for them to call you but be proactive and call them and you will get a faster appointment, which I did.

Thanks for the response. A few people I have talked to said theirs also took around 3 to 4 months. I am getting excited and will be calling this week to see if they sent the referral to the psychologist. I have an appointment tomorrow with a new primary care doctor I am hoping to get her to sign off for medical clearance

In in Tracy. Surgery scheduled for 5/18/15

I'm new on here, I live in Sonora and had the Duodenal Switch 3 weeks ago in Modesto with Patrick Coates. I've had ups and downs on this lifelong journey.

Am I in the right thread for Sacramento? I don't see any other Northern CA threads that fit me!

Hi lapnicky, I don't know if you're interested, but I am in a Sacramento area WLS support group on Facebook. I also admin an all female support group as well but it's not location specific. If you, or anyone is interested, you can send me a PM on facebook and I can add you. Look me up under Angel Wolpert.
