I just arranged all my first appointments today, first I have to attend a seminar before they will schedule my initial consultation, then I learn from my insurance company that I will be required to do 6 months of medically supervised weight loss. I was all excited about taking the plunge and getting the ball rolling on this and now I'm feeling like this is gonna take forever

AARP Medicare complete is my insurance

Took me almost a year going thru everything. Had extra tests and extra doctors appt to get cleared. But that's just me. But maybe you should think it'll take a year then if it happens quicker you'll be surprised how quickly time flew.

It is a process, but it is a good thing. This journey is more mental than physical.

I'm also in the 6 month wait club. It's frustrating to say the least but I'm looking at it as a time to research and get things in order. My first appt. was July 18. Now, I'm counting down the days until Dec.

We are on the same timeline. My last appt is 12/4.
