I am scheduled for VSG (through the Weight Wise Clinic) at the end of May. Anyone else out there getting surgery around the same time?

Hi Deb,
I am waiting for my surgery date. When were you approved for surgery? I think I have a few more months yet.

Sarah that is an incredibly generous offer. If you are feeling up to it, I would love to talk to you after you've had your surgery.

Yay you...how did you score a surgery date so quick with a March referral? I am jealous. Good luck on the journey!

Deanne...it really depends on the person, surgeon and type of surgery. I had an RNY done, Approved on May 3, 2010. Had my surgery on July 13, 2010. So only a 2.5 month wait for me and others like Sarah had a 6-8 month wait.

Deanne I think it depends on which surgeon you have. I think Dr Karmali has the longest wait list and Dr Davey (my doc) has the shortest.

Sarah if you are serious about your offer I may take you up on it. I don't know anyone who has had VSG and I am pretty nervous
