How long is the wait?

[fordgirlalways 8]

I will be done with my six month program through Kaiser Permanente next month and wanted to know if anyone has been to Dr. Cantor at Holy Cross. If so, how long did you have to wait until you had the surgery after first meeting him? Thanks!

Hello, I will be done with the 6 month program on the july 13. I too hope to get dr. cantor. We should keep in touch and let each other know what we find out I go to the woodbridge location for my appt. Have you finished the program yet? Have you been approved?

[fordgirlalways 8]

My last Nutritionist appointment is July 7 and then I'll be done. I also go to the Woodbridge location. Maybe we'll get approved at the same time since the committee only meets every so often.

That would be exciting. It has been so hard waiting. I think the worst part is not knowing if you get approved or denied. We most likely have met since we go to the same location. Well i hope we can keep in touch. I will let you know if I find out anything.

[fordgirlalways 8]

Yeah I know the feeling! I'm glad to almost be done with the program. I was thinking we've probably been to some of the same meetings too. Hopefully we'll both get approved. I'll let you know when I find out something.

[brittneywlsj 13]

Update! I emailed my nut yesterday and she said i was approved!!! I cant even begin to describe how amazing i feel. I will be vlogging about it on my channel this weekend youtube.com/bsbeautymix.

Now im waiting for a appt. To meet the surgeon

Have you heard anything new?

[fordgirlalways 8]

I haven't heard anything, but just saw on kp.org that my PCP put in a referral two days ago to go to Holy Cross to meet the surgeon and it was authorized! So it looks like I've been approved as well! I'm so happy right now. It all feels so much more real.

[brittneywlsj 13]

That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. We should def be buddies since everything is happening at the same time. Had anyone called you to make an appt. Yet with the surgeon?

[fordgirlalways 8]

Yes we should. I'm happy for you too. No one has called me yet. Hopefully we'll both get a call tomorrow or next week some time. Maybe we'll have our surgeries close together since it looks like we got approved at the same time and they only go over fifteen cases at a time.

[brittneywlsj 13]

Yes. I will let you know when I find something out. Keep me posted

[fordgirlalways 8]

The surgeon's office called a little bit ago to schedule my consultation. I'm going on September 14th!

[brittneywlsj 13]

They just called me too. I'm meeting him on Sept 25. But that's just the first appt. We still have to wait for an actual surgery date. That seems long.

[brittneywlsj 13]

So do you think surgery will be oct or Nov

[fordgirlalways 8]

Yeah it kinda does seem long, but at least it won't be as bad as the six month program. I'm hoping October.

[brittneywlsj 13]

Yeah by the time it finally happens it will be almost a yr that I started this. At least we know it's coming. I hope oct too.

Did you choose Dr cantor or mccarthy
