I am so excited to finally be taking these steps. I have my first nutrition appointment at the end of the month and my only psych appointment is scheduled for August. I hope my excitement last the 6 months I have to wait. I just wanna do this and be done already. Here goes nothing !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joy428 3 Posted July 15, 2013 I just got home from my endo about 15 minutes ago. The only thing I can report is a major headache but they said that's due to me being a coffee drinker. So the told me to do home and have a cup if coffee, eat and take a nap. It was very short. I checked in at 8:15. Got called back at 8:20. I was wheeled into the room at 9:07 and was awake sitting with my husband in recovery at 9:28. Very short. All was good. Good luck to the rest if you. Keep posting on your progress.

New life 7 Posted July 15, 2013 I'm kinda afraid of the endoscopy. Really dnt know what to expect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joy428 3 Posted July 15, 2013 I was really nervous. My book pressure was high. But trust me it was nothing. They said I would be really tired when I got home and should take it easy. I am home at my desk doing some work. Good luck but its a breeze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nnegrete329 40 Posted July 17, 2013 So is your surgery schedule for February? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joy428 3 Posted July 18, 2013 I will finish my last nut in December. I am figuring by the time the doctor completes my work and submits it, it may be Feb. I wish it was tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nsweety123 19 Posted July 18, 2013 Does everyone have to go to endoscopy. I did everything but that. I hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopeliveshere 294 Posted July 18, 2013 my neice had the sleeve in march and did NOT have to have one. My landlord had the band and did get one. I guess it depends in the surgeon. I wish i didnt have to do this, but i guess i have to make sure all my parts are in working order Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spoiled1 15 Posted July 20, 2013 I had my endoscopy on Thursday. Just as quick as they wheeled me in they wheeled me out. It was a breeze! I have my last appt on Aug 1 with my dietician and I'm done. All of my other testing was already completed. She said I'm looking at the first week of September for surgery. She also said it should take anymore then a few days to get approved. My BMI is 48. Started out at 326 I'm now down to 301 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaKP 0 Posted July 20, 2013 I had my first appointment with my surgeon on Thursday. Endoscopy is August 15th, as well as my first nutritional appointment. I'm having to drive 320 miles away for my appointments. Minus the Psych eval, which I can have in my area. I don't really have a waiting time. Mine is just getting all the bases covered and losing 30lbs. As soon as its all checked off, then they'll submit the approval to insurance which they claim can take 30 to 35 days then surgery is scheduled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
