I'm just coming out of shock mode!!! I had my consult yesterday with my surgeon and submitted all of my paper work; 6-month supervised diet, 3-5 years medical records, etc. and was scheduled for my nutritional visit, psych eval, and EKG for today. I left the doctor’s office yesterday around 1 and by 3:45, I received a call from the Bariatric Coordinator telling me that I had been approved and could schedule an appointment when I came in today!!!!!! All I could say was ok thanks---no screams, etc. Total SHOCK!!! It happened so fast, but the shock has run its course and now I’m ecstatic :thumbup:. I completed my pre-op visit with the nutritionist, my EKG, and psyc. eval today. My surgery is scheduled for November 3rd—I’m the first surgery of the day. My next steps are to schedule my pre-op class and pre-admission testing and I’m set to go.

Good for you. I'm hoping for a early Nov date. I have been approved. I live in Enterprise,Al.

Thanks and congrats on your approval. Who is your surgeon, if you don't mind me asking?
