Accepted, but not approved.....yet :thumbup:

I got the letter today from the hospital's New U program and in big letters it says:

WELCOME TO NEW U

I was so excited I was crying!!

I was soooo worried that something in my med history would throw a red flag, but nope. I have to call tomorrow to set up all my pre-op appts. They are letting me work backwards sort of, since they only do seminars once a month and the one for this month is Saturday but hubby & I will be in Las Vegas. LV was planned months ago or seriously I'd cancel it to get things moving faster.

So, I have to see the psych, nutritionist, and physical trainer and go to a 3 hour Lap Band education class. And I have to do the seminar before I can meet with the surgeon. And they won't submit to my ins before I meet with the surgeon. The next seminar isn't until April 17th. So, I'm hoping for a date mid May.

I'm on my way!!!

Thank you everyone for being so helpful and supportive :scared2:

Thank you!

I am just waiting for the office to open so I can call to make my appointments.

I had to read the letter again this morning just to make sure it wasn't all a dream LOL.

      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.
