Hello everyone!:smile2: I just wanted to share that I am waiting for a surgery date, and going out of my mind... It seems like everyone else gets their date so much earlier in the game? Maybe it's just me being antsy..:biggrin: After the psych eval, 3 nutritionist appts, and 3 support groups you then have to give the $500 non-refundable program fee.. THEN, you see the fitness guy twice, then the nurse, have final consult with the surgeon, THEN they submit for a date.. Then, you wait a week for that date which is STILL 3-5 weeks out.. Wouldn't they think that after you give them the $500 that you were serious about this and they could submit for a date then?! GGAAAAHHHHHHHH!! I have been sooo patient with this (almost) 8 month process.. I just can't take it anymore.. I just want to scream! Thanks for hearing me out.. tee hee hee.. I feel a bit better now..:biggrin2:

I hear ya! I'm waiting on insurance approval, but didn't have to jump throught as many hoops as you did! Is that stuff all an insurance requirement? Or is it because you're young?

I dont feel so bad about my waiting maybe 6 weeks!

Hang in there!

All I can say that might help you through this waiting game.....

It IS WORTH IT!!!!
