This is happening too fast!

In May, I started thinking about WLS, but I changed my mind. The first doctor that I had met didn't seem to mesh with my personality. It took 3 months just to get a consultation appointment, and I was not feeling it. Fast forward to Oct. 18th, when I was looking at a local TV station's website, and I spotted a doctor that they recommended. Something about him appealed to me. I called his office on Oct. 19th and I got an appointment for Oct. 26th. During that 3 hour session, I learned a lot and felt very comfortable. I filled out the forms and wondered if I'd get approved. On Oct. 20th at 8 a.m., I received approval for surgery for the 19th of Nov. All I kept thinking is, "Wow, this must be meant to be!" Now, here I am less than two weeks to go and ready for a change. I surfed the Internet for websites that could help prepare me in such a short time and I luckily found this one.

Anissa, I went through the same thing. I went to see my surgeon on July 20th, didn't have the money up front for the psych visit so I put it off thinking I would go back later. I get a phone call in November telling me I was approved in August, but insurance didn't notify me or doctors office. She proceeds to tell me I only have 6 months to have surgery after being approved and January is already filled up. So Dec. 16 had psych evaluation, Jan. 6 nutritional class, Jan. 16 all lab work and final appointment on Jan. 24 for my preclearance. Then my surgery is on Feb. 7 at 6 a.m. It is alot for a person to take in and adjust to in a short amount of time, but I think if I didn't have to do it this way would I change my mind if it took months to get all of these things done. Everything will work out fine, now is the time to get house cleaned and things straightened away so you can rest when you get home from the hospital. So go take a long and relax. The best time is yet to come. (((((hugs))))) Tammy
