I don't have the same insurance but I got my appointment datesneeded to meet my insurance's 3 month requirements booked at my first appointment. They also did my initial blood work, diet, insurance requirements, and a discussion with my doctor about the options at that appointment. My final appointment is Tuesday.

You have every right to be excited about the first step in your journey.

Best wishes to you.

I can only speak from my experience but there are a lot of appointments, tests, meetings with nutritionist and psychologist prior to submitting your package to the insurance company to see if they qualify you for the surgery. I started the process in January and my surgery is August 1st.

My first appt with Dr was basically going over my medical history, past weight loss attempts etc. Good luck and don't be nervous...no need:)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
