Who's getting their surgery in January? I just got my insurance approval today, and I meet with my surgeon Wednesday the 16th of Dec. The scheduler said that I will most likely get my surgery on the 5th of january because he only has one scheduled on the 5th, and he is out of the office until my appointment! I am beyond excited!

I received my insurance approval on the 11th of december and the surgeon's office called me this morning with my date. i meet with my surgeon January 14th and will be having my surgery on January 19th and i start my pre-op diet Jaunary 5th. I am so excited that i cant wait. This will be a whole new chapter in my life that i cant wait to begin.

January 11th, very excited and nervous !

January 4th!

January 5th! ????

Congrats everyone! I'm having surgery some time in January, but I'm just not sure when. I'm self-pay because my company's ins excludes bariatric surgery from our plan.

My Doc has me on a wait list for December, in the event someone needs to cancel. During my initial visit, he told me that I missed out on a cancellation schedule by two days. Nonetheless, he's working diligently with his coordinator to get me in soon because I am self-pay.

I guess I should be glad that my Doc stays so busy with surgeries, but it's driving me nuts that the coordinator keeps e-mailing and saying that she is waiting on him to sign-off on a few things before she can confirm my surgery date. I am very anxious and ready for this to happen, just as some of you. My wife is pushing me to call the office on Monday and request a date because I am hoping to work around some travel dates and some important meeting dates that I have for work during the month of January. I'm hoping to be one of the first after my Doc's time off after the holiday.

January 7th! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

January 13th here!

We're surgery date twins! And I hate to wish Christmas away but i am SO ready for this surgery!

I am a January 6th surgery, too!!!!

My date is Jan 8th.. I had the Lap Band for 8 1/2. I had problems all along, but it continued to worsen, back in July. I had it removed and wanted the sleeve. My Dr. told me to heal first. The insurance I have now only covers the RNY Gastric bypass. I really want the sleeve. But I have to do something... have gained 25 lbs, in5 months. I have tried to be good but my lap band prevented from holding anything down. I have a supper slow metabolism and take thyroid a supplement. So I am ready!!! I am 61. Elaine from alabama
