When month do you think you will be having surgery?

Just now starting mine. I go to my first Nutritionist visit tomorrow. 6 month supervised diet. Surgery not expected until July or August. Ugh long wait but I'm using this time to adjust my eating habits and hopefully tighten or tone my skin prior. This way maybe not have to much loose skin afterwards and be more prepared for the drastic change. I've seen girls go in and have sugery fairly quick and their results were not good. One girl lost weight and didn't commit to the change and gained it all back. I am going to follow step by step and hoping my willpower is strong to stick with it.

Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up

Aussie here, too - my 12 months is up on 2 December 2015. The wait is killing me!

End of march :-)

February 16

Me too! It is going to be such a long year! At least u have now found you to countdown with!

I go this week for my surgery class, more labs, and an ultrasound... I'm hoping the next visit will be it and I'll get my date! Come onnnn early March! This waiting for an approval and a surgery date is the worst!!

July ish for me. I am still in the 6 month pre op. Will it ever get here?

So scared, having it Feb 16 !!!

I honestly don't know what month mine will be. I have seen Nut (twice) and psych and need to see psych and exercise specialist in March. I have no idea what will come after that. Any ideas? Lol

Depends on how long you have to see the NUT. I had to do 6 visits. I could do one a month or twice a month. I ended up doing mostly once a month, with the last 3 appts every 2 weeks. You have to complete all your pre-Op tests, and get whatever clearances they require (mine required cardio, which I had to do an echocardio, stress test.. and pulmonology, which required a sleep study and a breathing test.. blood tests.. I have to do an endoscopy.. a psych clearance.. I thought I'd be done in 4 months.. but my friend said probably more like 6-8 months, and my first appointment was in September, and I should be scheduled for March.

I waiting on my paperwork to be submitted to my insurance company. I was told that it should be submitted by the end of this week so I'm hoping for a FEBRUARY date.

I get mine on the 2nd feb just doing my liver shrinking diet now x
