Buddah 11 Posted July 8, 2014 Grats. I just got started and I am in fear of the long road ahead. Lots of hoops to jump through. The Journey has got to begin somewhere. 3 HalloweenBaby24, BeagleLover and BryBro63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeagleLover 1,020 Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome! We all have hoops to go through, some more than others. We just tick them off as they are completed. I'm pre-op too and get a lot of confidence from the knowledge and experience of so many others before me. It is a safe operation that most people seem to be VERY happy they had-- they are way healthier, can move around much more easily and have extended their lives. Best wishes on your journey! Grats. I just got started and I am in fear of the long road ahead. Lots of hoops to jump through. The Journey has got to begin somewhere. 1 BryBro63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddah 11 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the kind words. I just filled out and emailed in my paper work to schedule my first visit. So I have a long while still. I am working to prepare myself physically and mentally to make it is as smooth as It can be. Much love to all those who have come before and to all those who are in the process.

HalloweenBaby24 447 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) @ It might not be as long of a journey as you think. I had my consultation appointment in May and I finished all the requirments for insurance 2 weeks ago, and now approved for my Surgery September 8th.

LadyPullings 94 Posted July 16, 2014 Did u pick the date or do they just give it 2 you? How does that part work? (Or did they give you a variety of dates)? #curious 1 JenSul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalloweenBaby24 447 Posted July 16, 2014 @@LadyPullings I didn't pick my date, that was a date I was given the day of my consultation appointment with my surgeon. It doesn't always work that way from what I understand, But that's how it is for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyPullings 94 Posted July 16, 2014 Got it! So when u went to your initial consult you received a tentative date? I'm so confused w the whole process! I just got my authorization to see the surgeon and the nutritionist! I am waiting on the scheduler to call me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
