I have a few questions for those of you who have dealt with the program through the UMass weight center. First off, how long did you have to wait for your initial consult? I called them yesterday after I got my insurance approval and they told me they were booking two and a half months out!!!! Yikes! I wanted to get started ASAP! Also, how long was your process after your initial consult? What were the steps you had to go through? I can't wait to begin but I'd like to hear some stories about the process...

hi

i/m going through u mass it is a slow procedure. i went to meting in jan, 09.got 1st meeting in april. got okrd, now i have psych meetings ,still no date. i understand how you feeel?

Its so slow! I went to my orientation in April and my initial appointment isn't scheduled until the end of July! I'm a little discouraged. I just want to get started with the process! I do start my 6 month program with a coach through my insurance next week though... Hopefully I can keep being positive. I wish I started earlier! Anyone else going through UMass? We can support each other through the process.

Have you tried Brighams? I went for my consult in July and was banded in October.
