I have done all the pre-tests with the exception of the sleep apnea test which is this Friday. I have been to the informational session and am scheduled for my pre-op support group on Monday the 6th. Before that meeting I get to schedule my wellness assessment which is a 4 hour appt. with the bariatric team of, nutritionists, nurses, and psychologist. It is to my understanding that after that meeting I will be giving my surgery date. According to the nurse it could be as early as late February......I have only been in the process since 1/1/15 I am in a pilot program with my job so I am lucky enough to not have to wait for insurance approval. Is that to fast?? Am I rushing it?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Which procedure are you having done? I got my MGB done with a pilot program at work too.

I got my news from work in March. I was given 3 options (RNY, Lapband or MGB). I went right away to research. My appointments were separate. I had several appts with my Main doctor, others with my surgeon, another with the psychologist, labs...etc. That took a few other weeks. By May I had a date in June, My choice because I wanted to wait until the kids were out of school.

I dont think yours is too soon. Your new journey is just around the corner. Very exciting!

Having RNY.

I am near Tampa , FL and tampa general hospital has a whole bariatric program. It's all done there. I did have to get my clearance from my PCP and sent over my last 2 years of tests. I've done all the blood work also.
