I feel like it's slow going but really it's only been a couple of months.

 

I started:

 

  • July 27th- called the Dr for appt about WLS- started research about Lap band

 

  • Aug 2- required info meeting

 

  • Aug 6- psych eval,
  • Aug 15- found this site from the LB one and self educated myself about the VGS

 

  • had to wait for my first consultation Aug 27th,
  • Sept 1st- Endoscope/GallBladder UltraSound
  • Sept 13th- Pap Sept
  • Sept 18th- Follow up Dr appt, bad news, gallbladder has to be removed
  • Sept 21st- required Support mtg with my husband
  • on 2 week no fat/carb diet to shrink liver for gall bladder surgery
  • Oct 5th- gall bladder surgery

So that's where I am here at the end of Sept. I still wish I knew the day of my sleeve surgery :thumbup:

Last I know, my insurance approved VGS however my company ( I work for the hospital) needs to get it written in our policy. Very frustrated to be told yes and no at the same time. But I know God has his reason and timing :biggrin0:
