I just set up my consultation for Oct. 21st with Temple University in PA. Has anyone had their procedures done there? Also, my insurance doesn't have any criteria to meet other than have a bmi of 35 w/ med. conditions or 40 as long as go to Temple or Unniversity of Penn. As that being the case how long will it take from the time of my consult until my surgery.:tongue2:

Thanks!!! If anyone could help me out with my questions and maybe share some of their experiences I would appreciate it.

Congrats on your decisions and every insurance/surgeon has different requirements. My surgeon required everything listed in my signature. Good luck and keep us posted :-)

Thanks Chellz423 for responding to me.. So you haven't had your surgery yet? Are you nervous? You have to let me know how you make out.

Jen, call your insurance company and find out what testing they will require the surgeon has done prior to approval. Then you will have a bit of an idea. Not sure how quickly any specific insurance company approves, but some are rather quick.

My surgery is a week from today.....I'm very nervous, but ready to unleash the thinner me lol.....I'll definately keep u posted
