I had my consult today. I scheduled everything but the surgery. Due to my insurance not requiring a 6 month supervised diet she said I could have surgery as early as November if everything goes ok.

That's great news...wishing you all the best!

Wishing you all the best

Yay congratulations

Yay!! I'm hoping for a similar outcome. My possible surgeon schedules everything for the same day..nutrition psych evaluation everything. So he can get your paperwork off. My insurance doesn't require a 6 month diet and has been known to approve within two weeks! I could be able to schedule in October!

That is awesome! I had my first consultation with my surgeon last Thursday. Due to work scheduling, I have already had three of my appointments (Program start, personal trainer meeting, and psych eval).

Today was my psych evaluation, but I am kind of nervous that the psychologist will say I am not approved...

(I am a very confident individual who has never considered my weight number as who I am... but they made it seem like I needed to be more self loathing, if that makes sense)

I am one to jump on the internet to see if there are weight restrictions or size issues when planning vacations, or choosing to sit inside at a restaurant on a beautiful day out of fear of breaking their stupid plastic chairs. I have a slow metabolism, have tried losing weight and exercising with no luck (Even stuck to things to a T and maintained or gained weight.)

So I will be totally devastated if I get a big fat (no pun intended) "No".

Fingers crossed.

Psych evaluation was Thursday

Think was good

looks like you and I are on the same time table. I had my consult on 9/9. My nutritionist visit is 10/2 and my psych consult is on 9/17. The initial paperwork they gave me says I do not require the six months of dietary counseling, but they also told me that was subject to change. I have several people in my office that have been to this surgeon, some had to do the additional counseling and some didn't. I don't know why that is, possibly a difference in the tier of insurance we all have (our company offers 3 plans through BCBS) Anywho, the doctor told me depending on how long it took me to get my nutrition and psych evaluation I could have surgery as soon as October!! I am so excited!!!

Maybe you and I can be buddies???

Of course!
