I got a call from the nurse at Womack yesterday- She went through my pre-op check list with me and I have to complete the following:
** a pap (which I have scheduled already for later this month)
** one or two additional lab tests (quick bloodwork)
** a Sleep Study (which mine from a few years ago counts!)
** Physical (UNC's Counts!)

All that leaves me to do is Womack's Psych process (Oh well  - UNC's doesn't count)
Womack's Nut (Do over) Those appointments range in dates from Dec - Jan (BUMMER!)

And the required support group meetings.

SO January / Feb is the timeframe that I am looking to have surgery!!!

 

YEAH!

Like I was telling you last night, it only makes sense...I am SO RELIEVED that they are going to count your physical, sleep study, etc!    I know, I know, not nearly as relieved as you are though!   

Just be thankful for the hurdles you don't have to jump through, like...a 6-12 month supervised diet.    Enjoy those support meetings and milk them for all they are worth.  I LOVE the ones that I've been attending...very inspirational, supportive, motivational.  And, you will be an ol' pro at the next psych consult, right? 

January/February both sound like great months to have a rebirthday party in!  I'm going to start preparing my party blower now!

Hey Kim,

That's great! It's wonderful that you'll be able to get all of the appoints you need while you are taking care of their support group require and you'll be ready to go come Feb. What a great Valentines gift!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
