crysky 4 Posted September 27, 2012 I'm in north jersey and I'm going threw the process. Hopefully I get my surgery by December. Are u going through the process as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
on the way to the new me 18 Posted September 27, 2012 Yes I am currently just waiting to have my last NUT appointment and than I can submit to insurance! Hoping to have a mid-November date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crysky 4 Posted September 28, 2012 That's awesome! My insurance needs 6 months proof of visits so December marks the 6th month and I'm praying everything turns out well so I can't get my surgery before new years. Do u have presurgery jitters? I'm starting to get a little nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyAnthom 0 Posted September 28, 2012 I'm just starting out. Going to have mine done at Jefferson in Philly. Got my first meeting on 10/4 then meet with Dr foe 3 hrs on 10/10. I quit smoking cold turkey once I read that you had to be nicotine free for at least 30 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chocolatetye 44 Posted September 30, 2012 Hi, I'm in south jersey. I had my sleeve on 8/15 at Kennedy hospital. This surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Good luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
101driver 46 Posted September 30, 2012 Hi On The Way! I'm a patient of Dr. Neff's too (he's so great!). I was sleeved in Jan '12 and am down 108. Do you know about the Washington Township and Voorhees support group meetings? They're great and I started going when I was pre-op. I'd love to tell you anything you anything I can - I know I had so many questions pre-op. Best wishes!! 1 ortega07 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
