I finalize my date!

[HotATL73 24]

My date has been set for July 10th. This will be a birthday present to myself. A new start to my new life. My follow up is also scheduled the day before my birthday. I am very excited because this is something I want it for the past 3 years. Any advice and suggestions for this process is always welcome!

Congrats! I'm assuming your in Atlanta due to your screen name? I'm in Atlanta as well and I'm in month 4 of the 6 month pre op process required by my insurance company. Hopefully my surgery will be in August after my approval. Who's your surgeon?

[HotATL73 24]

Lol... Yes I live in Atlanta. Dr Tuggle from Peachtree Bariatrics will be my surgeon. Good luck with everything because I was at the point where I didn't think I would get approved but God has a different plan for me. Please stay in contact and keep me updated on your progress.

And thank you so much!

Yes! This waiting for 6 months is a test of my patience but I'm trusting that God knows I need the long process. I'm with Dr. Macik at Northside Bariatrics, I've gone through the psych evaluation and nutritionist so I'm just going through the 2 more weigh ins. Please keep me updated on your process. I look forward to this new leash on life :-)

Will do! God has a plan!

Hi there, how are you doing post op?

I am doing great. Started my 4th week post op. I am learning my new stomach. Thank you for asking.

What about yourself

I have an appointment for my first consult with Dr. Macik this coming Thursday. Is the six months an insurance requirement, or is six months if you self-pay too?
