Dont know what to do!

I am Very New at this! I am meeting with my Dietician on the 22nd and cant wait! I dont kow what else i can do to move this process along or how long it will take. Can i just get some ideas as to how long it takes from the first meeting till when you get a date? Thanks so much!!

Timelines depend on a LOT of different factors. I was with Kaiser (insurance and hospital) and was approved in a matter of a month and then was stuck in their program for over a year and a half and never got a date. Then decided to self pay and from the first appointment to my actual surgery was only 20 days! So, it depends. But congrats on taking the brave step to bettering your life and improving your health! Take Care & let us know how the visit with the dietician goes! -Mary

Try and be patient, and take time now to get set for your post-op. The surgery is the easy part of the whole process. I also think they make it take a little time so you have a chance to evaluate the process. From my first meeting with to my surgery it was about 6 months, but that was because of insurance stuff. Best wishes, Amy

depends on your surgeon and insurance. My surgeon required 6 months with a dietician (even though my insurance did not). But I had been seeing one for well over 2 years so that wasn't an issue with me - I had already been trying everything under the sun to lose the weight. Good luck! ~ Monica www.WOCF.org
