I can't believe it....Seminar Aug 1st, Psych Eval Aug 13th, Dr/Nutirionist Aug 14th, Approved Aug 24th, Pres Surgury Appt Sept 10th and Surgery Scheduled for Sept 21st. My only advise would be to be very organized....ask for names of pyschologists/nutritionists and make appts yourself, get dates for paperwork submission, then followup with those offices to make sure their deadlines are kept. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Oh, I self pay for individual insurance so my copay will be my max annual out of pocket of $4k, I have a health flex spending plan through my job so my portion will be $800.00 plus the $250.00 for psych eval and $140.00 for the nutritionist visit. My BMI is 40 w/no co-morbidities.

where are you having surgery at if you dont mind me asking..
