erikaloftin 62 Posted February 19, 2013 I got my surgery date today!! It is exactly 3 months after I started the program (which most people said couldn't be done). I am sooooo excited. It still feels like forever away, but atleast I have a goal in sight now. 3 Band Mom 3, ElleG and melynie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpooh29 2 Posted February 19, 2013 I started all of mine in September 2012 and my surgery is on February 25. So I had five months of waiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erikaloftin 62 Posted February 19, 2013 Well my info session was in the beginning of November, so its been longer than 3 months. But since I actually was accepted into the program, it will be 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kparadisek 115 Posted February 19, 2013 Well I'm jealous! LOL! I had to do a 12 month program before they would give the approval so April 17th marks the date. I can have my surgery that day or anytime there after. I hope they do it in the month of April that would really make me happy! Congrats to you both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbuckner1947 5 Posted February 25, 2013 I started mine Jan 15th and having surgery Feb 26th. You have to be a bitch and tell everyone your spots need to be NOW and follow up and then follow up again. I'm on Medicare and did not have to jump thru hoops time wise. One week liquid nearly killed me but just one more day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erikaloftin 62 Posted February 25, 2013 Omg congrats! My insurance requires a 3 month supervised diet but it ends April 16th, so I did pretty good at being pushy. I was really nice about it though. They said they've never had someone as "motivated" as me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
