:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:Congratulations!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I am also new to the process. I had my psych eval and meeting with the NP on Tuesday. All my preop tests are scheduled. Does anyone have any experience with St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Mass? I have at least one possible two co-morbidities so hopefully will be approved after meeting with surgeon. Really enjoy this talk site, it is very educational!!

The very best to you!

I'll be right behind you--I see the surgeon 9/24 to schedule a date!~ You are so-o-o lucky to be on liquids only two days prior to surgery--I know all docs are different, but my requires 10 days before surgery (liquid and soft) to make band placement easier.

Good luck!!:)

Hi Make 33,

Thank you for your wishes, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you, for a speedy surgery date. I started this journey on the first of September, so it was all very fast, the way i would much prefer it. I have no major health problems, just want to prevent any from hitting me in the up coming years. Keep me posted on your journey.

Hi Hollandsmom,

Sounds like you are on the right track. I was able to get all my tests and appointments done in a week , a very busy week, but i managed. I am in Southern California, so i don't know much ( anything) about Mass. sorry! Good luck to you.

Tootles,
