Hi, so I just met with the surgeon on Monday and went over the Sleeve surgery. It was a good conversation and I feel like its the right choice for me. I had an EKG following the appointment and then met with my patient coordinator. She was able to schedule my Psyche eval for tomorrow, nutrition and fitness evaluations for the 11th. I have my lab request and I'm meeting with the sleep clinic for a home monitor on Friday the 14th. I'm really glad I can get started but I wasn't prepared for all of this in two weeks. How fast were you able to complete the requirements? I am self pay so I don’t have the 3-6 diet plan. Also I have a 2 year old and he's going to have to come to a few of these because I don’t have this much childcare available do you think that will work?

Thanks,

Virginia

I am private pay also. My first appointment was on June 30. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow August the 6th. Yes, it has been a crazy 5 weeks, but glad it is here already!

I'm jealous! I need your quick turn. I had to do the 3 month diet. I see the surgeon next week. They won't even schedule me until I get cardiac, pulmonary and psych eval. I am in a race to have the surgery by end of Sept (due to insurance change).

I think taking your son will be OK to be honest. I would take my little one too if needed.

Good luck!!

Thanks, I got my blood drawn this morning. Lots of tubes but she got a good vein so it wasn't that bad. Later I took my youngest to the psychology evaluation. Thankfully he was pretty good thorough it. So nothing now until next week.

Wow, I just went today to see the surgeon and I won't see him till November . I have to meet with the dietician and get blood work done , schedule the sleep clinic. I figured I won't get the surgery till December / January - also working with my insurance too
