Went to my psych. Evaluation not to bad. That will take her 2 weeks to get back to Charlene. One good thing was she was able to give me phone # to a Sleep apnea doctor in Newark & called them & they just got a cancelation for tomorrow So I get to go tomorrow And do my sleep apnea consult appointment & hopefully schedule my test soon. So the only thing left is my nutrition class but that will have to wait till after Christmas because they want $ 200.00 up front & I want to get Christmas out of the way. So I am getting things done a lot quicker than I thought . -

Today I had a with Meeting Dr. Miller. really liked him. Now in the process of Step 2 of this Journey... Doesn't look I can move forward till after Jan. Good thing is I only need to do 3 things: Psychological Clearance, Sleep Study & of course Bariatric Nutritional Education. I went with one of there Dr's (Dr. Michael Saribalas) who does both Psych & Sleep study @ the same Appointment. Unfortunately I cant get him into Him till Jan. 8 Th :ohmy: My Insurance doesn't require any supervised diets. I still need to decide which band I am going to use. -

Just wondering how long it took some of you from the time you attended the seminar till your actual surgery? I attended my seminar on the 21st of October & got my folder filled out my paper work & sent it in on the 22nd got my acceptance letter the 30th & on the Nov. 2nd sent that paper work plus my $ 300.00 fee in & just waiting for my phone call to set up my first appointment. My $ 300 has done cleared the bank so hopefully I hear something by the end of this week.. Man I hate waiting lol:bored:

Just wondering How you are doing so far Floridainohio? May I ask how long did it take from the time they called you (after you sent your fee in) to your actual first appointment? I checked my checking today & they are taking out my 300.00 fee so It is just a matter of time before I get my phone call.:thumbup: -
