After what seemed to be a long wait for the first of the year for my new insurance to kick in, I had my intake appointment yesterday with my surgeon. I've gotten his okay for surgery, my psych clearance, blood work, dietitian class, and class with the nurse along with my chest x-ray yesterday. My insurance requires a LOT of things, but it seems like everything is moving so quickly! 1 week from today I have the Echo done on my heart as well as my pulmonary function test and drug and nicotine screening. March 3rd is my EGD, and March 9th are my pulmonologist and cardiologist appointments. The pulmonologist will schedule my sleep study and then that's it! Just waiting on my last 2 months of physician supervised weight loss information to be put in and then off to the insurance company we go! Fingers crossed and all that jazz!

it goes by soooo fast! GL

Hi mom of 4. I am right on schedule with you. I just have my pulmonary and stress test to do and then I'm all done with all my requirements. I go to my 4th dr apt tomorrow and my heart tests are next Wednesday. I'm trying to move this sooner since it's my doctor requiring all this not my insurance co. Crazy how much is involved but seems to have went quickly. As much as l love foods I'm ready too. Good luck to you!

Just a quick update: 3 more nut. appointments to go, got my cardiac clearance and pulmonary clearance. Had my EGD and all the other tests were passed with flying colors. My sleep study is March 30th and that's it! What seemed so insurmountable a few weeks ago is flying by.

I have kicked up my walking, getting in 8-10k steps a day and got my self a fitbit as a reward for really really trying to stay active, it makes me feel even more accountable.

Registered for my first 5k fun run (walk) Memorial Day weekend, which will still be pre-surgery but I'm excited because I know I can do this!

I'l be submitted to insurance in May and hoping for a June surgery!

So exciting! It does go fast! Sounds like your really ready for all of this! Good luck!!!
