That is good my office was 4-6 weeks out and longer at the end of the year. So glad you got an earlier date.

hey. ..can you explain more about why it would be longer at the end of the year? ?? That is what is happening to me and I completely don't understand. ..approved in Sept but have to wait til January. ..going nuts

My bariatric office is like this too. Very busy during the summer and over the holidays. I guess those are better times for people to take time off? I was approved in late August and having surgery in November. I also had to make sure it happened before the end of the year or my insurance deductible would reset.

At the hospital right now. I am about to get my EGD done. Praying everything goes well and I can get a surgery date today. I have already been APPROVED.

Hi I am a newbie and my surgery is 11/5 so excited about it

[angierue 214]

At my clinic, the cost actually goes up by $1000 if you get it done in December. They said it was the hospital that raised it, not their fee. I thought that was crazy.

But I think it's because most people have the extra time off work and because everyone wants to start the year as their "new self" so there's a lot more people trying to get in. Plus like another poster started, insurance deductibles start over so folks are trying to save money.

Ppl meet their deductibles by that time. End of year is always busier for surgeries... Not sure why the price would go up tho??

Today I went to The Vitamin Shoppe to look for some samples of Protein Shakes and they recommended Isopure premixed Protein waters. 40grams of protein and 0 carbs/sugars. I bought 4 different flavors to try. I will let you guys know how they taste. I'm super excited about not having to mix anything
