Just an fyi...We all should be taking vitamins anyway. Whether you get the sleeve, bypass, lap band or any other weight loss surgery. We should be taking vitamins. Even if you aren't having surgery you should be taking vitamins. I heard a lot of people speak against the bypass due to one of the reasons being dependent on supplements for the rest of your life, but technically shouldn't we be doing that anyway??? Is that such a bad thing???

I am not quite sure when my date is, except that my Dr has submitted my file Thursday. I am hoping for the best. I hope there are no suprises instore, like insurance changes or requirements. I just did my blood work today and now just need to wait on the PCP clearance letter, so I am hoping at least by the next month.

Finish my classes in May. Hoping to have surgery no later than July. It'll depend on how accommodating their surgery schedule will be, but I will definitely ask to be put on a cancellation stand by. By that time I plan to be ready to go at a moment's notice.

My last nutrition appointment is April 20ish so hopefully may or June for surgery. My birthday is June so that would be cool.

My date is March 18th. Hope I got ins approval by than. Wishing everyone good luck.

@ yes I am just starting my journey. Went to my consult in friday was told my requirements and have my first support group on Tuesday.

Finally got a date, Feb 12 on a cancellation, WAHOO!!

March if all goes well, last diet appointment is in 2 weeks, already did my approval from primary, psyc eval done, ekg done. All that is left is intake.

Got notified that I have insurance approval today. Now to feel out work and see when would be a good time span to be gone. I am still not wanting to share with my coworkers what I am having done, just don't want their input and some will feel I am taking the easy way. We all know that this is just a tool not a "easy cure".
