Got my date....wow this went quick...

Tuesday, September 9th.... Now I am nervous. From reading all the posts I thought this process would take several months... I had my initial consulation on July 7th and did all the pre-op stuff and just got the date today.... So on my end it all went very quickly!!!!! Perhaps too quickly... In all honesty and its due to the fact that I've never had surgery or medical issues of any significance.....the hospital part of this whole thing freaks me out. Not so much the diet and lifestyle change for the rest of my life...that doesn't phase me at all....the actual going under for surgery does (: Cheers

Congrats on you date. That was quick. Your insurance / doctor must not have the 6 month doctor supevised diet - lucky you. I think your concern about going under is normal but I don't think you want to be awake for it. I have had 2 c-sections, they didn't put me totally out but I don't really remember much which is a good thing, I think. Abby

I know the feeling. I went to the doctor on July 29 and got my date for september 10. I am also concerned with the going under. I have had other surgeries with no complications but the going under still scares me the most.

Congratulation We have the same date ..... I'm scared a little bit i have faith in my doctor....

Congrats, I tried last year & got denied, got a new job and had to wait until I'd been there 6 months so that I would be protected by FMLA when I took off the time to recover. I've had a c-section too and remember most all of it, but it will be kinda frightening to be completely knocked out.

Congrats and welcome to the September surgery family. TIme will move quickly , now we only have a month until Spetember is here and we all start our journey. Theresa

My date is the day after yours. My approval process went really quick also...almost amazing! From first appointment to approval was 1 week to the day. The following week had my stress test and they scheduled me for the next week but I had to cancel due to work reasons...and I am now scheduled for Sept 10th. While the 10th is a 2 mo process...it would have been a month from start to finish if work hadn't got in the way! I have to admit I am scared too....and I've had several surgeries over the years. But...in the end it will be worth it. I have a number of friends who have had the surgery and everyone said that in the end they are glad they did it! Good luck!
