HELLO! Newbie here :)

Sounds just like me!! Had an all day seminar last week and I have my second appointments this week with the dietician and psychologist and next week I am meeting with the surgeon. I too, am sure my insurance company has some hoops for me to jump through, so while i hope everyone will approve me shortly, I'll still be waiting and stressing over that! Crossing my fingers for you!

The insurance portion of this is what's really stressing me out so far, i've met all the requirements (BMI, 6 Mo. MD Supervised Diets, Letters from Doctors, Trainers, Weigh****chers etc.) but my surgeon said recently my insurance company has been approving people but still making them wait 6 months which would really stink. Best of luck with your appointments this week!!

Thank you! I will keep you posted! Crossing my fingers for you!

Cleared by my PCP and Psych! Meeting with the surgeon this week & have a follow up with the nutritionist in August, she said I'm doing well but she wants to follow up after the surgeon apt for weight check and stuff. Ahhh!

That's great!!! Sounds like you're on your way! My insurance company called and assigned a nurse to my case but haven't heard anything yet. Good luck meeting with the surgeon this wee****ep me posted!

Hey! Thank you! I have my second appointments this week with both nutrition and psych and then next week I am meeting with the surgeon. I expect to have some weight to lose prior and am not sure what kind of hoops my insurance will make me jump through!
