I finally got my surgery date! it's such a bitter sweet time for me. I waited for so long for it and now it's on paper and very real. I'm very much so in nesting mode... shopping and prepping have become a huge deal to me and at the same time a bit overwhelming W so many choices to make (in reference to pre-op diet). I am very excited and I hope there will be others to share this journey with since my surgery is October 28th ???? I would luv a buddy to share and exchange information and suggestions with. My surgeon is Dr. Shirwinter from Memonides Hospital in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to the new journey!

October 6! Very excited!

Anyone going to Mexico for their surgery?

Hey.. I will be your buddy...my date is October 5th..in the same boat starting to get a little overwhelmed

Oct. 28th for me.

I'm October 21!!!

Does anyone know if it means that insurance has given the go ahead if they have scheduled my wls for Oct 26? I guess I am just paranoid that something could go wrong. Lol

Oct. 28th for me.

Oct 26 for me... Scary and exciting too

My office wouldn't schedule until my insurance sent the approval.

All offices do it differently. My office wouldn't schedule until I got insurance approval. But other offices go ahead and schedule.

My office scheduled and then submitted. But they schedule 3-4 weeks out to allow time for approvals and planning.
