[smtaarrie 16]

Hey just found this forum on my phone. I'm currently in month two of my six required for insurance. My third appointment is june 6th. I'm super excited. I live in a small town in tennessee. Current weight 285 :-( I hope to be having my vsg sometime late october or november. Anyone else in there pre op six months?

One more just noticed wlsaf had a big meet and greet this weekend. Id love to go next year!! Anyone else planning to be first timers next year?

I'm doing the same thing. I've been able to shave a month of when I originally started because my PCP is willing to fill out the necessary form using my physical in January as the start of my diet. He was sleeved last year so he's really supportive.

A lot of people get frustrated about this requirement but I think if you look at it as a ramp up period to make the necessary adjustments (not drinking while eating, upping Protein, cutting out caffeine, carbs and sugar, etc.), you'll be much better prepared than if you could go in tomorrow and have the surgery. Fortunately, we're all in this together. Hang in there and the time will fly!
