I’m new to this site and I was just curious is there anyone whose insurance makes them wait several months before the procedure and your procedure is set for around February? If you don’t mind share your stats etc.

I am 5’4 HW:298 CW: 280

Mine! 6 months. I started in August, so I'm late Jan/Feb timeframe, too.

Mine was a 6 month pre-op nutrition and ended up about 10 months total.

I too, started in Aug and will be getting sleeved in Feb.

59 years old, 5'5" 285 lbs It's now or never for me!

Awesome!! Congratulations to you!

Blah 10 months! I really hope that my 6 months doesn’t turn into 10

Mine! 6 months. I started in August, so I'm late Jan/Feb timeframe, too.

I started the end of December last year & some things came up so I had to stop and I’m restarting but they’re letting me start where I left off. So February.
And if I would’ve just finished back then, my insurance only required 3 months. But it changed. [emoji19]

I'm half way through my 6 months required nutrition. Will have VSG in February.

39yrs old. 5'7 HW 227 CW 224. My BMI is on the "lower" side so I've been advised not to lose much more.... first time in my life i've ever been NOT to lose weight!

Oh yay!! I started in Aug as well late jan/Feb for my surgery as well!! So my no is also on the low side..I can only loose about 20 lbs no more..which seemingly seems so hard to do [emoji53] so I'm 29 I'm 5'0 SW 220 CW 220 GW 150

Hey February sleevers, My date is Feb 6, 2018 and I'm looking for buddies with close dates. I'm really wanting to start a support chat group on LINE, which is a messaging app I use, because I'm in Taiwan and I little isolated from support. Anyone interested? <3

Hi everyone. Started in April but couldn’t officially start till July. Having my last nutrition appointment this Saturday. Then next mouth is my surgeons appointment to conclude my 6 months requirement. However the Bariatric center told me it will most likely be end of January or February because the surgeon is teaching and lecturing. Also switching insurance carriers in January. Hope this won’t stall things up.?

Had to do 6 months plus the specialist appointments

Started in June... just finished my FINAL PCP Weigh In today

Surgery Scheduled 12/22/17

31 Years Old. 5’3”

HW232 CW230 SW 217

Approved in November yet surgery date 02/07/2018 due to my hospital all booked out supposedly

My insurance wants me to have 6 months of supervised dieting, however, since I'm on Weight Watchers, they have accepted that. I still have to abide by the surgeon's guidelines and find out how many months of supervision they require from me. I've completed approximately 90% of the prerequisite testing. In 2 weeks I'll complete the rest (psych evaluation, meet and greet with the surgeon, nutrition/dietician) I've been doing this for a month now, and I'm getting pretty impatient waiting for the next appointment, or even getting any information. But that is something I have to deal with. I'm hoping to have surgery In January/February (Fingers crossed!). I can't wait to have some sleeve buddies!

Hello everyone I also started my process in August I should be having surgery in Feb too .
