Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

My first night on this website. My surgery is scheduled for September 2nd. Scared! I had a nightmare last night. I would like to friend some people going through this at the same time.

Thanks

Mine is in Raleigh. Thanks

Late September here. Hoping it can get moved up. ????

Hello all,

I just found this thread last night. I'm happy to report that I'm scheduled for 9/14. I just have two visits to the doctors left. A pre op nutrition class and to see the surgeon. It's all a bit surreal. I was on the fence about a date for so long because I did not have the 6 months nutrition but I did have 6 months of weight watchers plus very good doctors notes. I really thought I would be denied but thankfully the coordinator said we have nothing to loose but try so she sent it in August 6th and the day before my birthday I got the news it was accepted. "Happy Birthday to Me"!!!

Welcome !!!!
