    I'm in Virginia also about 45 minutes from Richmond hopefully getting sleeved in November in Newport News with Dr. Terricina I have been looking for support groups my friend is also having hers in South Carolina in Dec and they gave role model support groups but I've had a really hard time finding anything and what I do find is more than an hour away drive. Anyone aware of any more local?

    Am I wrong?

    I believe that no matter what her opinion is as a healthcare professional she should keep her opinions to herself she doesn't know what your reasons for surgery are. People are going to have there opinions but you are the one to make the decision as it is your health not anyone else's. That is really unprofessional and was totally uncalled for.

    So my dr office called they are going to wait until November 1st to submit to my insurance for approval as my new insurance with BCBS starts and they are easier to get approval through. She said then all I have left is my educational class and then they will get me scheduled. So more waiting but I get it this time why I'm waiting.

    Thanks for the encouragement I guess we will see tomorrow they closed at 4 pm yesterday they said the coordinator had already left for the day I just called my insurance and they haven't even submitted it for approval to them yet and tomorrow will be a week since I finished all my pre-op

    Congrats, they said someone would call me today but I haven't heard anything at all this drives me crazy not knowing what's going on.

    I called my doctors office today they said they would have the scheduler call me tomorrow I feel like they rush you to get things done and then they take their time. I hope I don't have to wait until January I was hoping to be sleeved by November we have a vacation with friends planned for January wanted to be done recovering so that I could enjoy myself with my husband and friends.
