    It shouldnt take that long. My psychiatrist was just being a jerk and making me wait for the clearance from her. As long as you get your appointments taken care of right away, you should only be waiting the 6 mos or so.

    I have healthfirst/amerigroup and it was a requirement for me to do the 6 months of classes while i was getting all my medical clearances. It wound up stretching out to over a year because of scheduling for some of my appts but i finally got my surgery date for march 23rd.

      Hi! I'm about your same height and weight, currently 5'4" 239#. My first consultation with the surgeon isn't until Feb 5th but I've been in contact with his office coordinator getting information, beginning psch eval online. I added you as a friend. Keep me updated with your progress and I will do the same!

    The six months of dieting isisnot a true diet its really you learning the skills you will need for post surgery life. So far from what I've had to go through it doesn't look like there is a way to expedite the process. There are classes once a month and during that time you have to see all these different doctors to get medical clearance for surgery.

    Hi, I'm going to Montefiore for my surgery too. Same insurance. My experience was fairly good. Just make sure you make it to each monthly class. Those are really important. I'm still pre- op just waiting for my chart to be reviewed so I can sign consent. Word of advice, get your required doctors visits in as soon as you can or it can drag out the process for more than the required 6 months. I'm already looking at a year of preparation because I couldn't get one of my clearance letters until a few weeks ago. Good luck to you!!

      I think we are all in the same boat, when it comes to being nervous... I hope everything runs smoothly. I should be done with all my requirements in a couple of weeks.. But idk. well see. good Luck to you!
