dotofoz 0 Posted December 8, 2006 Unless the bariatric center sent in my stuff w/o me knowing, it only took a few days for approval! I have to wait at least 6 weeks (i'm on birth control) for surgery, but have to come up w/the $350 "membership fee" before they'll even schedule the surgery. Looking at maybe mid February....Thanks for all the good vibes you all sent and encouragement. :update: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheilamj1fan 2 Posted December 9, 2006 :clap2: Congrats on your approval:clap2:...it feels good to know it's gonna happen. I went to a surgeon (Dr. Woodman)that charges 500.00 that I had to pay before getting a surgery date. I went right on and found me another surgeon...I didn't understand why I had to pay a fee for a support group and "other" activities when other support groups are free. My new doctor is Dr. Madan and no hidden costs. Good luck! Sheila Be BLESSED!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
