Anyone have a November surgery date!? Would love to chat with someone along the same track as me!

Hi, I was told I should have my surgery 2 to 3 week of October. I am very close to your November and who knows with insurance companies it may be November.

i will start with my schedule. I am not required by insurance to wait but my WLC has a very strict policy of 6 months of group meetings , doctor appointments and a slew of medical test and a mental evaluation. I already have had my first round of blood work, I am already using a CPAP machine for sleep. I have to lose 1 pound a month . I had to laugh at the 1 pound.

I would like to keep in touch while we go through this together . We are very close in the process.

Awesome!!! I’d love to keep in touch as well!

I'm planning for Nov. My bariatric insurance benefits become effective in October. I have met with nutritionist, had fitness and psych evaluations, informational class and scheduled for EGD on Aug 1.

And I am sure all 3 of you will do very well with your various plans.

Had EGD today and a hiatal hernia was discovered which will be fixed at the time of surgery. I have a tentative date of November 19. My information is being submitted to insurance on October 29, my first day of bariatric eligibility.
