I have an app the 12th just a week n a day away then the final one, yes I know I'm goofy thats just how I get when I get excited! Anyway let me know, have a great day!

We start our vacation it would be great to have it done in June also, just not sure what all happens after the last appointment or how long insurance takes to reply, we have UMR

Me neither lol, there's so many unknowns about the little details of the surgery and I feel bad bombarding my insurance lady at my surgeons office.

I know how you feel lol, do you have a surgical coordinator at your surgeons office to ask? I feel like it's there just to answer our questions .

My last nut. visit will be in early-mid May so I'm hoping and praying for a good and quick insurance outcome for a June or early July surgery date!

I have called her and every time I do someone else calls me back saying she is on leave...???? not good.

@@MomOf4OhMy my last visit is early May so I'm with ya ???? hope hope hoping for a quick response

My last class is April 27th. Then I hear it's about a month or two from there to having surgery! I totally hear you on getting excited. I keep playing with the calendar trying to figure out the best date options for myself and my family. We are getting close!!!

Probably every place is different with their way of doing things. I'm going through Kaiser and they do the 6 months of classes. They in turn are contracted with Pacific Bariatric and that's where they hold all the power! Haha. Meaning, that's where I'll do my psych eval, more stuff, etc. I really don't know all the details but that's what I'm kind of finding out in my Options classes!

Really, see we have UMR and we have the 6month wait too and classes. I also had to have a psych eval, sleep study (which sucks) ???? , PCP sign off saying it's ok (clearance) and it seems like I'm forgetting something but not sure what, it's all turned in though I already checked. You would think I was in a hurry or something lol

I'm ready for a date though, would help instead of waiting n waiting lol

My insurance required 6 months of medically supervised weight loss, psychiatric clearance, cardiac clearance, pulmonary clearance, sleep study, egd, plus 6 months of food and exercise logs demonstrating at least 80% compliance. It's been rough but I am so close to the end! (My surgeon also required a drug and nicotine screening, almost forgot about that one.) My surgeon's office won't schedule you for surgery or even give you an idea on dates until they get insurance approval back. Once I get insurance approval I have to go in for another pre-op class (already had a 4 hour long one at the beginning of the process) then 2 week liquid only diet prior to surgery.

I'm still waiting on the results from my sleep study. If I do have apnea and they say i need a CPAP I'll have to go in for another night in the hospital so they can figure out my settings, etc. Other than that, I have these 2 nut. appts and then the nail chewing waiting begins. I'm glad you made this topic, it seems so many people have already had their surgery or are having it in the next few weeks it's nice to connect with others who are still a bit further out

Exactly, I couldn't hardly find anyone thats later either ???? I didn't have to have the egd, pulmonary clearance, cardiac clearance stuff unless that what my PCP cleared me for. The nicotine test I will have to have but I quit smoking almost a yr ago husband's smokes not that much though plus I don't just sit by him n inhale it lol I'm done with it.

The sleep study I passed said I didn't have it bad enough to need a machine so I was pleased with that and the 4 hour class I have never had, just the 6 months of classes
