That place is SLOW! I had my seminar and like a week or two later I had my consultation and I could have scheduled my surgery for 2 weeks after that. It was QUICK! My seminar was end of June and I had my surgery August 3rd.
Part of what delayed me was that I had to switch surgeons in January. I had been with one group and got everything submitted to insurance and then found out that they weren't covered. One of the other things that is delaying me is that my new surgeon is on maternity leave, so even if I do get my date moved up, the earliest it would be is sometime in July.

Very cool! I think I've met only one other person with the same birthday as me!

Lauren, why can't they take you sooner given your circumstances. The recovery is really easy so you will not miss much of school. I would bump the surgery date up if you can.

They are currently trying to get me moved up ahead of some other people (supposedly), but the earliest that I will get in would be mid to late July, regardless, just because the surgeon won't come back from maternity leave until then.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
