Congratulations hun!

I don't really get the whole health care system in the states, it seems so foreign to me... but i am assuming this means you are getting close till you get a surgery date??? You must be excited! Do they give you a time frame?

It's foreign to us too! Lol. Once insurance approves I can start pre-op testing and then meet with the surgeon for a surgery date. I'm hoping for late August or early September.

Thanks kathy...

We don't really have the whole insurance stuff here... so i guess that makes it easier.

We have private health insurance. . Which cover a large portion or you can self pay...

It was pretty quick... but this time i didn't need to see the psych... they already knew i was crazy from when i had my band lol

Congrats! Hope everything goes smoothly and quickly for you.

That's pretty much how my process went. Except in my case add 3 months between 'decide on surgery' and 'get a date' because my insurance required a medically supervised weight loss plan before approving.

But still, relatively painless.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
