Alice, 56, Louisville, hopefully the end of Feb, Dr. Oldham.

Alice, are you having to do the six month program due to insurance? Are you having the sleeve?

[Cindy Osborne 11]

I'm in Bowling Green, currently on track for late October - early November. My surgeon is Dr. Nwanguma at The Medical Center Surgical Weight Loss.

Welcome, Cindy. Best of luck with your surgery. October is just around the corner.

Thank you! ????

Yes, insurance requires a 6 month medically supervised weight loss program.

Yes I would prefer the sleeve but will find out what surgeon recommends on the 25th when I go.

My surgeon asked which one I wanted. Glad I chose VSG, I've had no issues and feel great.

I'm doing the sleeve, unless my Dr. Changes his mind before surgery. I know each one has different testing they want done pre-surgery. I feel like I'm jumping through hoops, but I'll be done with all of mine at the end of this month.

Have you lost any weight during the supervised diet? I've lost 23 lbs since January. I decided to try to start getting my body used to exercise & dietary changes. Best of luck to you!

Sept 9th is my last visit. Then finally getting a date. Most likely last part of September

[justaboutme 42]

I'm just starting this whole process so I'm going to the surgeons office on the 25th to meet with everybody. Then it's on like Donkey Kong with the diet and not smoking! So wish me luck!

Good luck Natalie. I know you will be excited to get a date.
