When I was having appointments all the time I felt like this was so real and going to happen and all excited. But I haven't had an appointment in a whole and it feels forever away. Am I the only one?

I really can relate. Every single test and procedure possible has been done so now I am just waiting for two visits to submit for approval. I go in on tuesday for a weigh in. Then hopefully I can get in for my final weigh in very very early in October so we can get this show on the road.

I still have till bout February.

My next appointments are this week. I'm excited and scared cuz I've lost nothing I know. I just hope I've not gained. I don't eat nearly as much.

I totally can relate to how you are feeling. For the past 4 months it's been nothing but appointment after appointment, test after test. Now all my pre-op testing is done, and I just have 2 more doctor visits before I can submit to insurance.

It feels like the next couple of months are going to be brutal waiting periods. Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep and wake up a couple of months from now.

Funny. I had all the appointments but it didn't feel real until the very end. During the pre-op testing and after the surgery was on the books. Before that it was just theoretical.

Went for my final 6 month supervised diet appt on Tuesday. I called the insurance to be sure they had everything they needed today (monday) I am already approved. The letter went out at 3:15 today.

On Thursday I had my third appointment with the dietician which went well. I'm down a few more lbs. had behavioral class and exercise class

I have to wait unt after the 1st of the year for stuff to go to the insurance company. I had my consult with the surgeon, ekg, and did a home sleep study last night, (hope it worked, i hae a 10 month d who decided tonot sleep last night.) then I have no appts until Dec 29, when I do my psych, fitness trainer, and nut appointments. Then it's a matter of waiting for ins approval. I will be taking the 1st avail surgery date. I wanna get the hard part over with and start living the sleeved life!

I agree it seems like forever. I'm hoping for a Dec. date to save on surgery costs. We should be close to the same time.I wish you the best an edge will keep you in my prayers.

Maybe a stupid question but what does nut mean. Lol

nutritionist

I started in January of this year and had surgery 9/22. The 6 months of nutrition visits went by fast, but the time between the last visit and surgery was so slow. From July to September I was a nervous wreck and time stood still.

Why did it take so long? I heard my insurance is fast. I hope

I had to do 6 months of nutrition visits and then I waited for a month and it was approved but the insurance sent paperwork to the wrong place so I ended up calling in August and got things rolling. I had to do a 3 week pre-op diet and that put me out to end of August/September but doc was all booked up until 9/22.

Ohhh
