Hi I am self-pay and have my consult scheduled for March 26. I've already gotten my psych eval done and the nurse said she didn't think I would need any more tests done. I am just wondering how much time it took from your consult to your surgery date. :nervous

Hi all,I am stuck in the middle of a quandry. I am self-pay. I have my consult on March 26 with the surgeon. I've had my psych eval already. I would expect my doctor to schedule surgery at that time. I'm a lightweight and concerned that he might not think I qualify. MY BMI is 38 with no comorbidities. My psych gave me some great ideas on how to get ready for surgery, but I'm afraid they will make me lose weight. I would love to lose weight, but I don't want to NOT qualify for surgery because of it. Any words of advice?

My doc does all outpatient unless he has reason to believe they need to stay overnight. I'm hoping to be banded in April sometime. Best of luck to both of us! (and pray I am outpatient because I am self-pay!
