The waiting is killing me...so nervous and excited to meet with my surgeon 10/20 im trying not to get my hopes up to high . i hope all goes well and i get a date for surgery or at least an idea of how long. Anyone near northern California...the valley? Could use any support i can get along this journey! Anyone else meeting their surgeon this month?

First of all, 10/20 is my birthday! I will be having a great time having pre-op testing done that morning, my sleeve surgery is on Halloween!

Secondly, are you going through insurance? Most have hoops to jump through, various appointments to make and keep, meetings to attend,etc. Mine was pretty easy but I still had to do a psych eval and various appointments and tests.

If you are interested there are many people on YouTube documenting their weight loss surgery. You can search WLS, RNY, VSG or DS. People do a video diary of their journey, very informative and fun to watch. A LOT of them are from California, many northern Cali.

Hi Shanirish

I am from the central valley near Modesto, CA. I have completed my insurance requirements and am waiting for approval from my insurance to get surgery scheduled.
