Hi all,

This is my first post and I started my appts with the surgeon at the end of May, Aug 25th was my 4th visit and he scheduled me for Dec 7th, pending nothing gets in the way. I am super excited and have been reading as much as possible.

@Imamami05,

My first appointment with the surgeon was May 30th. My insurance (UHC) has required a 6 month supervised diet, one nutritionist appointment, and one psych. My 6th appointment is 10/20 and then in Nov I will have my pre op appointment. If all things go well with the insurance company. I also changed insurance companies in July from Aetna to UHC and their requirements were the same. I am so glad the 6 months are finally over. It was long as well as to fly by if you know what I mean. Good luck!!! After all I have been reading I know it is worth the wait. I can't wait for my tool so I can start this journey of someone I never thought I would see. Me being small!!!! I have not loss much weight maybe a few pounds during my supervised weightloss. But I know my surgeon will do great!

Congrats @BlueCrush!!!! The excitement is building!!!

Scheduled for December 13th! It has been a long road with a lot of doubt and second thoughts, but I know this is what I need to do for a better future. Congrats to all of us!

Newbie here! First post I am likely going to have a December date but the surgeon is talking to the nutritionist and scheduler one more time. Is it terrible of me to try and be pushy?? I really want to get it done by the end of the year as I've already met my deductible. I've done the sleep study, psych, nutritionist, etc etc.. ready for my new beginning!

CONGRATS to you All! I'm having my surgery December 18th. I'm super nervous, scared, excited, worried, and so on. I'm so ready to start this new chapter in my life. Again, CONGRATS to All!!!

I am scheduled for December 13th in Tiajuana with Dr. Illian. I am super excited but nervous as well. I am reading as much as I can and getting all of the food that I can't eat out of my house.

I am now tentatively on the books for Dec 4th. I am so nervous ... I wont believe it until Im actually in the O.R. This has been such a long journey so far. I had my info meeting in January of this year. Last week they scheduled me for Nov 14th and then they moved me to Dec 4th. I hate to get my hopes up anymore.

Just spoke with my surgeon's office this morning and as long as my last two appointments go ok next week (I'm sure they will) my surgery will be December 20th or 27th. I'm really pushing for the 27th to tie it in with my holiday days off and she said it will probably be no problem since a lot of people want before or after holidays... not during.

So excited!
