I don't think my appointment can come soon enough. My consultation is November 8. I am going crazy waiting for it to get here. I just want to get everything started. It seems like it is forever away! I need a plan and details and right now I have none of that and am waiting. I can't be the only one who is having this problem or has went through it!

You're not alone in how you feel! I felt the same way about the waiting. I started the process in July/August. I likely won't finish the insurance approval steps until February. Surprisingly, the time is going faster than I thought. Do you have a lot of pre-authorization things to do?

I have already done the 6 months followed by the doc. I have my psyc evaluation scheduled and NUT scheduled. Just waiting

@@AmberMarie86 Use this time to prepare yourself as much as possible. Learn and practice eating how you will need to post-op. Figure out ways of combating head hunger and cravings. Start cleaning out closets. Get organized. Waiting sucks but make good use of the time!

@@KristenLe I never thought to clean out my closets, but it makes sense. I have been reading and watching videos to try to prepare myself as best I can. I don't want to do too much yet as far as buying things until after I have the consult and then I think I will be doing everything I can to get ready. I am a planner and have lists and things organized as much as I know how and can. Thank you for all the advice! I am looking for anything I can get.

I remember feeling like that last December when I started this. It was an extremely long road with a lot of time and work put into getting approval from insurance. In the end I was denied...five times. I am going to mexico next week. I am soooo ready for this to become a reality.

@Brenda Sherwood You were denied 5 times? That is crazy! I have called the insurance company to make sure everything is good before my consultation. I don't think I will have a problem with that but who knows with insurance companies. I hope you have save travels and your surgery goes well! I will be thinking about you!

I finished my six month appointment last week and now I'm just waiting for the call with my surgery date. This week has gone by soooooo slowly! I'm just excited to get going, as I know you are too. Good luck, it will get there before you know it!

      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.
