On the road to a new me

I got my pcp to do another referral for me since it has been almost 2 yrs since I started this process and chickened out.
I am planning on attending an info session on August 5th.
Waiting to hear back from Dr Loggins staff for 1st appt.
Anyone who has gone through this about how long does the pre-approval take?
I know I have to get lots of tests, and appts done first.

It really depends on how much testing you need to do and if your insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet, etc.  I started Dec 27, 07 and had surgery April '08.  If you set your mind to it and get all the testing done quickly, things can move along as quickly.  Not sure what Dr L's waiting list is like anymore (since there are 2 surgeons now, it may not be as bad as it once was, but I'm not sure).  Good luck!

I am so excited. I got my first appointment for July 29th. I almost fell over when she said the 29th. I thought she meant September.

That's awesome!  Congrats!!!

Congratulations on your appointment. Only, over a week away!!!
