Okay y’all so I saw my dr today and he said he put in the referral today, with it I added my WW attendance...what’s next? How long until I know?

Well...if your doc refers you to a bariatric surgeon...you'll probably go to a group meeting or seminar where you hear all about what's involved. Then, if you don't run, you'll likely have a consultation where they take your insurance information and see what's required. After that, you'll know where you stand...what prerequisites your office and insurance need you to meet, etc.

And of course, this could be different for everyone.

Best wishes!

I filled out an online application for my bariatric,program, the Bari attic Coordinator emailed me back, we talked on the phone, then the surgeon's office called and,set up a time to met with the surgeon and we were off to the races. Now my prerequirements are done and I'm waiting to hear a surgery date, find out when I get,my pre surgery blood work etc done. Looks like early-mid March at this point. Still trying to eat cleaner at this point even though snacks and empty calories whistle at me from the grocery shelves. I swear a box of Entemann donuts said "hey sweet stuff" the other day! I went and got a package of Spring Mix salad from the produce department instead.
