Went to see Dr. Seger at BMI of Texas for my initial consult today. It went great. I am now on my preop diet for the next six months. All the usual tests have been scheduled (psych eval, etc.). Also the insurance company has given me my checklist, and if approved, they will cover all of it, less my $500 deductible! Now I have actual measurable goals that I can actually see and work towards which I feel makes this more possible than ever! I am so pumped. As Ice Cube used to say.

yay!!!

Awesome!! My first consult is on friday the 13th Luckily i'm not superstitious haha Good luck with all the tests and keep us posted on how its going!!

Hello all! I'm having my initial consultation this Thursday. I am extremely nervous. Can anyone tell me what I should expect? And how long did it take to schedule the surgery from the initial consultation? Should I expect months in between? I really want to have the surgery before July because I'm noticing a lot of changes with my body now because of my weight. It's getting to be quite scary.

It's usually 3-6 months from consult to surgery depending on dr, insurance and other requirements. Seems like they are all different. Take the time to educate yourself. There's so much to learn and new things all the time.
