Check! One, two!

Consultation

Psych evaluation

Now I just have to get my pulmonary test and my cardiovascular test (aiming for November and January)

Then take the pre-op class (January)

Then I'm all set for May!

      That's fantastic! Time to start reading and walking! Also, you'll have the chance to slowly wean yourself off caffeine and soda if you like those now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal

    Is it normal for the process to take so long? I was told it could be up to 4 months? Just wondering. I haven't had my surgery yet.

    @@NOVAMOM348 It depends on your insurance requirements and your surgeon's requirements. I've been prepping since March 30th and don't expect surgery until late September (if I'm lucky). Others it seems to be very quick.

    Does your insurance have a requirement of a weight management beforehand?

    Not sure the exact requirements. Some say 3 months weight management some say 6. Some say they just told them that they had previously been in weight watchers and a member of a gym and that was enough. I have Tricare.
