Despite all my consternation regarding whether it was polite of me to call up and ask when I could get scheduled for my surgery because it had been a week since my approval and I had radio silence, the call came with me having to do anything. I first got a call from the PA who wanted to verify all my information and give me instructions leading up to surgery and she said she was going to send it over to the scheduler and I would hear from her in a day or so. She ended up calling that day and asked me what I was thinking. Originally I was hoping for the week of August 25 because it was the free week between my girls starting school and my son starting school and my husband didn’t have any commitments at work. Unfortunately, my surgeon was unavailable that week, so I opted for the next and I am officially scheduled for September 4th! I go on Wednesday for my pre-op physical with my PCP’s Nurse Practitioner. I can’t believe this is happening!

Anyone else here scheduled for September 4th?

Im scheduled for September 8th. Im trying to find people that are scheduled around the same time. Im super nervous and worried I missed something in all of my research and through the surgery program.

Congrats! I remember being that excited back in December! I'm so glad I had the surgery. I'm down 62 lbs so far! Good luck with it all and I hope it goes smoothly for you!

Hey, we’ve got this! I spent the last 7 months thinking I was going to get denied or the bottom was going to fall out for some reason. ❤️

You’re doing awesome! I hope I’m as successful as you! ❤️

Does it count that my wedding anniversary is on September 4th? Wishing you the best as the weeks before can be long at times. Keeping you in my thoughts. Congratulations on getting a date!

thats this week!! congrats!!

Yes! It's crazy. I had to wait 6 months due to my insurance but all of the sudden it is here!

So happy that you got a date! I'm in the UK and was at the mercy of our national health service, which meant from referral to approval was a year, and approval to surgery was 8 months!

But congratulations! You're one step closer!

Best of luck next week!
