Anyone looking at a January date for surgery?

Just started my process, and I have to do 3 months of a medically supervised diet. My first appt is Oct. 17th for that, but I saw my surgeon last Tuesday, so the ball has started rolling..

I have a lot of Dr. Appts coming up!

    I would like to know if there is someone dealing with Medicare as their insurance to have the surgery done, I'm almost done with their requirements, and would like to know, how long does it take for the approval. Thanks

    i'm jealous. I couldn't make it up to the office again this month and I have to have 6 appts. so 2 in December and 2 in January.. but its fine, cause we close on our house Dec. 19th and we will be moving through January, so it will already be high stress.

    Any updates? I'll probably have a date in late February or the beginning of March.. I have two more NUT appts, this Friday, and the 30th and I have my endoscopy on the 29th. Then I'll be put in for insurance approval, which they said takes about 2 weeks and then i'll be scheduled for my final appointment with the surgeon, which they said my surgery is scheduled two weeks from that appt.

    Excited.. nervous.. ready..
