I go for my last weigh in mon or tues( for my 6 month required diet) ...and she will file the next day she said she would have results for approval within minutes.. Thing is I work for school system so have to wait til after schools out..then I have to go to destin for a wedding the first week of June soooo I'm hoping I can get a surgery day as soon as I get back.i have looked for someone on here who is using Dr Pennington with no luck until now!

Got so excited by your other reply that I didn't see this one! Pennington did the seminar that I went to and I loved him.. he seemed so sweet! The pysch eval is the last thing my insurance is requiring and Margaret told me that my insurance doesn't take long for approval either. Yay for a surgery buddy!

I've met the mental health lady and love her! She has a great sense of humor. Unfortunately my insurance is requiring a licensed psychologist to do a full psych eval and she said she can't do it. So I have an appointment with someone I don't know. This is only requirement my insurance has so I can't really complain too much!

Looks like when you go in I'll be a week or two out. Can't wait to know my date for sure though!
