I am going to my Initial Physical & History Appointment Tomorrow!!!! Finally

I am feeling a little nervous and anxious. The ball is finally rolling! Does anyone know how long it takes to have surgery after the doctors office gets the approval letter? Any feed back would help me greatly... Thanks Gayenell

Gayenell, Hey there. I haven't seen you since you joined my website. You should come over and register to post on my board. After all of your appointments are over and done with, it goes pretty quickly. I had my date in 6 weeks. To me that was pretty quick. Love, Sandy Pierce Cincinnati, Ohio

I had Dr.Hadley & Dr.Maguire, I got my approval 10-10-03 and open RNY 0n 11-17-03. My approval for RNY took 18 days from Medical Mutual of Ohio. Good Luck, Robin W

Hey there! Well today went pretty good. I feel much better now that I have seen Dr. Bruce. He was very nice and I had plenty of questions for him. He was very informative and understanding of my questions. He made me feel sooooo much better. Now the wait is on for the approval. I have Anthem Federal so they tell me that they should know in about 2-3 weeks. I will be having the RNY Proximal...... I am on my way to the lighter side of life. Yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gayenell

I had my consultation in December and had my approval in February. It took me a little longer because they needed more records. I was first told I'd have surgery the end of April, but it ended up being April 16. Good luck! Let us know when you hear any news! ~Jessi
