6/22/09 Met with PCM

6/23/09 Nutrion Evaluation

6/24/09 Psych Evaluation

6/25/09 Cardiologist EKG/Stress Test

7/10/09 Packet submitted to insurance for approval

7/13/09 Received approval

I am a nervous wreck right now waiting for the Peachtree Bariatrics scheduler to call and set up the pre-op class consultation and surgery date. I completed my clearances and submission and received approval in record time and was praying the scheduler would get to me quickly. but not yet. :smile:

I am sooooooo ready to move forward and feel like my hands are tied! I know Dr. Duncan stays booked but I actually requested Dr. Hobson hoping I would get a date sooner. :rolleyes:

How long does it take to get scheduled after approval?

I used Dr Duncan through the Real Results office in Dunwoody. What are your thoughts on aftercare?

I used real results. If I had it to do over I would have gone to Dr. Gorjala at Southern Regional where my husband went. RR office staff is awful, minimum of 2 hr wait for every visit. Chronic neck and shoulder pain since surgery. And I have spent maybe 5 mins tops with Dr Duncan since my surgery. It was a matter of convenience as simple as that!

The appointment wait is just nuts and yes never see the doctor besides surgery. I really enjoy the nurse though. Does your hubby's dr take on patients from other surgeons? I moved and was trying to find a new aftercare dr but no one would take me :(

Paula, I am not sure if he sees other patients. I have considered changing myself. I know Emory does not. Peachtree Bariatric is close to my work otherwise I would have been gone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
