I have just finished my appointments and weight management classes at montefiore and I was wondering how quickly do you get a surgery date. Is it usually far away after you have completed everything?

Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Girlll Im still waiting for an appt to meet the surgeon...im so annoyed

Keep calling i signed consent last thursday and they gave me date that same day

Yes I was emailing the woman and today I called. When do you go in I know you are pumped! Im happy for you.

Have the pre op class and appointment with the anesthesiologist monday. The surgery is on the 15th

Oh snap Yess thats awesome!

Thank you. Your s is coming

Did you get your second appt. Yet@curvycaramel

Girl now they are saying I need clearance from the sleep study which the coordinator said she had. But I'm gonna go in friday to the sleep place to get the compliance report.

Did you go to the Sleep place on the concourse. You can call him. And tell they lost the paperwork thats what I had to.do

Yep. The guy is saying they need a diff clearance now. I was supposed to go in today to sign consent but now I have to wait until friday. They suck lol

Hey I'm a patient of Dr. Choi at Montefiore. You have to call and be on top of them it seems like some of you had a shorter wait time than I did I had to wait since January 25 till last week 2/27 for my appointment to sign consent and I had called and spoken to them in between email did work best. They will give you your surgery date the day you go to sign consent as well as your pre-op appointment and one last nutrition class ...I'm scheduled for 4/24/17...they are still scheduling for this month if you are able to go in. Good luck!

Hopefully I can get a surgery date in the coming week. I will finish my cpap compliance on friday. They literally told me to use it for a week to generate a report at the last minute. I have Dr. Moran. It prob took you a longer time to get an appt bc your doc is the most popular lol

They do suck. It took me a year to get everything. Because they lost my stool test and I had to do stuff over. But keep on them

Yes she is but I think it's also because they are a little disorganized. When I wrote the email I was told that they had it ready and forgot to contact me. I picked them because my friend had started the process and mentioned how great everyone was but the same happened to her she had to wait and wait and she just got discouraged and stoped all together. Stay on top of them!
