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?

Hi there! I was sleeved at Monte on 1/18/17. Even if it means calling EVERY DAY, multiple times, stay on top of them! My process was elongated an extra 2 months because of their disorganization. I also filed several complaints through their customer service, which does reach the coordinators of the bariatric program. My surgery went amazingly well so no need for worry there, but definitely be persistent on the administrative end.

Best of luck!

I was the same way and then my date got moved up a week so I really couldn't stop thinking about it! Just stick to your pre op diet and you'll do great, good luck!

Good luck with everything! I'm excited for you. My surgery is on April 13th. Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. Not bad at all. I started a few weeks ago on liquids all day and 1 meal for supper. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Wishing you the best!
