So idk my surgery date yet i just know in October. ...

What are your dates and progress so far

Got mine done. It's painless. Just a lot of questions

I go in tomorrow for my meeting with the psychologist has anyone had to do this

Yup...my first meeting with the center I am going to was with Psych. It was nothing really...just a conversation.

So this week I have my first meeting with the nutritionist then a week from today I have an "Immersion Day" where I am at the hospital all day to talk about the whole process, group psych and group nut...should be interesting. Sometimes I can hardly believe I am doing this! I am excited thinking about where I'll be a year from now though...

I go in tomorrow for my meeting with the psychologist has anyone had to do this

Hi Shelly...I just went on July 2nd. It was pretty basic. General conversation, but I had like 600 question and answer sheet I had to complete. He said that he can't keep someone from having the surgery...he's just there to make sure that once it's completed that you have the best chance of success.

My surgery attentive date is August 20th. The nurse she would be sending in my paperwork around July 21s. I'm Nervous Because I See My Nutricionist Tomorrow And I've Gained 5 Lbs Since I Saw Her Last. I'm praying this will not b part of what is sent to the insurance. I have federal mdipa United Health care. Any advice or thoughts?

Hi all, I have my pre op appointment 22nd July, hoping for a mud September appointment.. So excited.

I have my operation August 19 and still seems surreal but I just keep picturing myself fit anf healthy ad that keeps me determined and excited about getting this journey started.

My surgery is scheduled for August 20th. Once I get the approval from my insurance I think I will feel more at ease. The RN said she. Ant send it in till the 21st of july. I'm praying they will approve it. Please keep me in your prayers. I just found out that my diet before surgery is just no carbs. So happy I was worried about doing a liquid diet. All of you are also in my thoughts and prayers.

My surgery is July 25th. Nervous but excited! I was this close before about 2 years ago to my surgery date and then cancelled, but I'm doing it now.

Wow that's soon. It is both exciting and scary at the same time. Keep me informed how everything works out.

I know everything will be great. Love to hear about your progress after surgery.

Hi I'm a newbie! I see my dr on 7/17 to start 6 month diet. Then 7/22 is

Bariatic seminar. I hope the 6 months going by quickly! I have united health care.

Hey Flygirl, the 6 month will be over with before u know it. I have UHC MDIPA federal. Can't wait to get the approval so I can breathe. I am at 44 BMI and have 2 Co morbidity issues. I hope they don't give me a hard time.they said I can do 2 occurrences a month with my PCP for 3 months or 6 mo one visit a month. That's on a supervised diet and had to see a phycologist. I'm now at the end thank god but the paperwork doesn't go in till the 21st of this month. UGH! Has me nervous.
