thank you tmorgan

I look forward to going onto my next step. the doc gave us a folder of info and an outline of what we have to do. it's bout a 3 month process before we get a surgery date. which right now is good for me cause I have to wait for my short term disability to go in effect at work so I can take time off and still get paid. that goes in effect in january. so in the meantime I can do everything the doc needs to be done.

no it wasn't scary. ive been doing alot of research and about 11 co workers have all had the procedure done by the same doctor that im having which is the one that put on the seminar. so I was comfortable going in.

just had my seminar tonight. my doc is very informative. I look forward to hearing back from him for my next step.

Marina.. the name of the workbook is The Weight Loss Surgery Workbook by Doreen Samelson

oh my goodness. all that just for a free seminar on it. I was only told the insurance card and doc name and number. It seems as though it's depending on who the doc is and who you have for insurance that is determining what requirements are needed.

thank you.. im nervous and excited at the same time. my seminar is tonight at 7pm. curious as to why they told me to have my insurance card and doctors name and number.

I am also new to this whole concept. my seminar is on the 16th this month. i'm hoping I can have everything go smoothly and get a date early 2013. since I have to wait for my short term disability to be active at work. I've heard diff things bout the supervised weight loss.. it seems like its depending on who the docs are that that part is required. best of luck with everything.

first off.. congrats to everyone that has gotten their dates or has already had their date. I am just in the very beginning of my journey. I have spoken to my primary care doc and got my referral. my appointment for the seminar is on the 16th this month. I have been trying to get ideas of what my journey is going to consist of. I have been reading peoples stories and seems like there is alot to do, and some have had extra steps that some have not had to do. I had gotten a workbook from the library that has given me an idea of what I need to be doing but have been confused after reading some forums. best of luck to everyone
