I am extremely excited and I want to have the surgery sooner but I still need to get my passport. I also will need time off work and I feel that later will be better due to more staff coming on with college as next month most will be graduating.

My insurance requires a six month waiting period.
Also working with a dietician and office visits and weigh ins.
So, I have to wait till August.
I wish I could get it sooner.

Hoping to have my surgery in Aug. I finish up my 6 months of Medically Supervised Weight-loss Visits the end of June. Very nervous too.

I hope I don't die before the six months waiting period is up.
If I do die, will someone please champion a movement to get a law passed that states insurance companies can no longer require a six month waiting period?
I would really appreciate it.

I don't know the whole story, but there was a woman that had to lose 100lbs before the surgeon would do the surgery (I don't think she weighed even 400lbs). Was working on it, and suddenly died. Haven't heard cause of death, so don't know if it was related to the diet.

Best thing to do is slow and easy. Exercise, dietary changes, etc. Don't kill yourself by being all gung-ho! (Literally!)

I will be having my surgery in August also. I'm getting my lap band taken out in a few weeks. My insurance would only approve a 2 part procedure. Then I have to wait 3 months for the gastric sleeve.

Hello everyone! Brand new to this site. Just scheduled my surgery for Aug 22nd. Been working towards this since January. Down 15 pounds (was down 20 but went on vacation and slipped back up :/ ) . Glad there is a board for those all going through this at the same time!

      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.
