Just got home from my visit with the shrink. All went well, blood pressure was up alittle, but he said that was normal. So now all I have to do is wait out my regular Dr appointments for 3 more months. Medicare makes you wait for 6 months.

I have medicare as well and the coordinator at my surgeon's office said they could submit to insurance after 3 months. Could it be there's another reason for the 6 month wait? Or is it different requirements in different states or something?

I just had my consult today, but have minimal insurance requirements. I told them that I was hoping for late November and was told that was a very good goal. Fingers crossed that I hit the November goal!

I'm 3/4 of the way done with the program, and my bariatric program thinks I'll have surgery late October-early November. (:

I am all done with everything, unfortunately my insurance company merged with Tufts, which means I have to wait another 3 months and hopefully will get approval in November for the surgery.

I just need to meet with the surgeon & have the NP go over the file one last time before I it goes to the claims processor. The NUT said that it could be done within the next 2-3 months, putting me in October or November. It seems so long but it's not. I just need to keep my eyes on the prize!

Hopefully I'm going to be on that November surgery list! I had my 2nd weigh in today, down another 2 lbs for a grand total of 19! Scheduled my psych eval which is in August, already did my surgery orientation and am scheduled to meet with the surgery center on the 22nd of September. It's hard not to get excited especially beings I haven't actually met with the surgeon but like everyone says they've had so many patients take this same road it shouldn't be any different for me.

My info goes for approval on OCT 13. Hopefully I'll have my surgery sometime in November or early December!! Nice to meet other people in the same stage

If everything goes well, I'll be having surgery late October/early November. Just hit my halfway point on July 17th. The wait is killing me!

I'm having surgery on Nov 5 with Dr. Almanza. Anyone else have that date?

I'm super exited!!!
