[MSVEEKAYWHY 6]

hey everyone i have an orientation on the 19th of this month! however im pretty set on getting the sleeve. i've invested a lot of time in researching the surgery. So i've built up a lot of impatience! anyone care to share their timeline of the whole process?

Mine is in my siggy. Basically I first saw the surgeon on 1/10 and I am having surgery 3/15. I was actually done with my pre-op appointments the first week of Feb. I know my journey has been quick compared to others.

I am scheduled for surgery on April 4. I had a required three month session, which included 2 small pre-op classes, 2 large group post-op sesssions, 2 with nutrionist, 1 psychologist, 2 registered nurse visits, pcp visit, 1 surgeon visit, bloodwork, and an ultra sound.

All of my requirements have been met the end of Feb. I have surgery scheduled, but am waiting for the "go ahead" from insurance that can take 4-6 weeks.

It was not bad at all. You really learn a lot from the sessions and I looked forward to them. I would not be as prepared today without them.

Good luck to you!!
