Yikes... That does seem like awhile.. I would call the does office and ask to speak with whomever does authorizations and ask a hat the status is..... Drs office. Not does office lolz

I think it depends on the coordinator mine did it the next day and I was approved 2 days after.

Not super close but sd

Yay... Sd here too... Who's ur surgeon?

Depends on ur insurance I really didn't have any medical history before I started my 6 month nutrition stuff for bariatrics..... I had seen a dr a few times before but in a diff country and I did not have those records

I meant I had my gallbladder removed in Mexico not medicine Lolz stupid autocorrect

I'm seeing a surgeon in sd through my insurance..... But I agree with Michael if ur cashpay I would go to either tj and see dr. Altamirano or mexicali..... But it's cheaper in tj..... I've read many reviews and stories and u will be in good hands..... I actually had my gallbladder takin out in medicine because I had no insurance and it was an emergency and I couldn't afford 20k here..... Amazing.... Super clean proffessional staff etc I couldn't expect more in the U.S.

Omg! I haven't told my dad either. He's a very old fashion Jamaican and hates western medicine. When I was in high school my cousin came up from Jamaica and she was hospitalized for some rare medical condition and died after surgery. My dad would FLIP his lid if I told him. I plan to keep it from him as long as possible. I love him dearly but he just wouldn't understand. I'm so with u on that.... I'm trying to figure out how to tell him

How exciting.... I can't wait for mine my doc booked so mine is Feb 16

Anyone having surgery in San Diego would like to share stories or advice

Oh my goodness how exciting perfect for the new year!!!! Congrats!!!! Where in tj?

They try to get in ur mind if I have any mental stuff going on u want to make sure to stay on the subject of weight loss wanting to be healthy etc....they will ask if u feel something bad in life caused ur overeating etc.... Just make sure how I answer if it looks as though I are suffering from depression etc... They may not clear u...... For example my weight gain started when I lost my brother at u yrs old to leukemia I admitted that to the psych but I also said that I've moved passed it I miss him but that was 22yrs ago and it's been a fight to take those lbs off and I need a tool to help me I want to be healthy and live life tothefullest..... I was cleared my cousin however was more like I want to feel good about my self I'm so depressed I think this will help....... Took her 2 yrs to get cleared from psych because She was so depressed Sorry.... Autocorrect sucks lolz

This may sound weird but I've had that before even water and it ended up being my gallbladder

I've Told everyone and they mama. I don't care if someone is against me so far everyone is supportive....except I have not told,my dad. He is very old fashioned..... We actually do know someone that passed but unsure if it was Lipo tummy tuck or what kinda weight loss thing it was...... So I know my dad will use her as an example... I'm hoping if I can explain to him that is simple like my gallbladder and it's recommended by doc he won't be so scared......surgery is in Feb so I gotta figure,out how to tell him before

Omgoodness that's awesome congrats definatelyperfect timing for the new year

It is crazy how far out they are scheduled. My date is 12/30 - I have known for 6 weeks - and now it is only 6 days away!! YippeeYes definitely.... Seems like when I first started this journey it was a rare procedure or at least it seemed but as times passed seems it's getting popular

Yay.... So I had my first consult with surgeon on the 18th after a long 7 months of nut, pcp visits and psych found out today already my surgery was approved yay surgery date is Feb 16th because that's how far my surgeon is booked out my I don't even care I'm so happy to know I've been approved what's another month and a half

Was curious if anyone here is in San Diego curious to who ur surgeon was or will be

Oh dang... Ya dr Mueller is only 2 weeks liquid diet before surgery...do u get out today or do u have to stay an extra night? I just want it over withlolz

That's so awesome I can't wait for mine Yay Amy that is awesome mine will be at Sharp memorial as well with dr. Mueller How much have u lost so far John. If u don't mind me asking

That's awesome .... Has the healing process been dificult how's it been going for u so far?

Hey girl I'm in San Diego.... I see my surgeon on the 18th and then I will probably get,my surgery date... I'm so excited.... Who was ur surgeon?

I had my period when I had my gallbladder removed.... Similar type of surgery.... They had me take my tampon out and just put pads under me they had no problems or concerns about me being on my period

I finished my 6 month of stuff and got approved to finally have a consult with the surgeon... I have my appt on Dec 18th... So hopefully I can get the surgery in January
