Yeah, I have been working on this since November. Glad to finally have a date. I had to change it to the 24th (Wednesday) because of prior commitments but two days difference is not much when one has waited (weighted ha) this long.:wink:

Congrats! I got my approval in the mail today as well. I wish my surgery was as soon as yours... my doctor is scheduled 6-8 weeks out, and she only does this surgery on the first and third Thursday of every month.

Congratulations on your surgery date! This does seem like a long process, but maybe we're all just anxious to have the surgery and start shedding the pounds. :eek: I started the process back in November. I've been approved by my insurance, but waiting on the surgery date, which I hope to find out next week. Kudos to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
