MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
Cool! If you're going to Mercy, get to the seminar 30 min early. I got their right on time and I got my first surgeon visit 3 weeks later where some people had their first visit the next week.
Also, always confirm your appointments. I've had 2 appointments for my medical clearance and couldn't be seen. Once the office was closed and the other time I couldn't be seen by 2 doctors in the same day. I had my pych eval that morning and my medical clearance appointment right after that and was turned away.
Next week I have my pre-op group sessions and my medical clearance appointment the week after that. I will probably be meeting with my surgeon to schedule surgery the end of December and having my surgery in January. I'm very excited!
I look forward to following your journey! Lets keep in touch!

Hi, the total process was about 6 months. Get your medical records, have your primary doctor weigh you monthly and fill out the form stating you are trying to lose weight, schedule all your test and visit the nutritionist and start preparing yourself mentally. Email me if you have more questions. You'll be losing weight in no time. Just stick to the program.
