hairbyjosephine1204 2 Posted January 7, 2013 My name is josephine and I'm new to this I've been thinking about the surgery for quite some time now bit I was scared of the after math (not looking weight) but just the cautions of after but I've made my appointment and I've made my decision I'm super excited I was just wondering how long it took everyone before they actually had the surgery? 2 Dee-Texas and qdh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spunkielor 5 Posted January 7, 2013 Hi, My first formal appointment after the orientation was November 12th and I am scheduled for January 30thBe aware that some insurance companies make you be on a physician monitored 6 month weight loss journey before you can even start the process. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky8mb1 167 Posted January 7, 2013 My first appointment was the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. My surgery was December 10th. I could have gone in earlier but I had a vacation planned right smack in the middle of that time. I was self-pay, so there weren't really any time restrictions.
