Just had my first appt to start the process

[Shaunisha 2]

Hello, everyone. Yesterday I had my first appt with someone that basically went over my application and set me up with a few appointments. My first appointment to meet the surgeon is Dec 9 and I also have an appt Dec 8 I think its with the nutrionist. I'm so excited, yet very scared. Also my insurance is making me go the 6 month supervised route so I'm looking at mid May early June for surgery hopefully.

Welcome! It feels like it will take forever, but I remember my first post here and now I'm a month away. Good luck with your journey!

Welcome and congrats! Use the time to learn as much as you can and start making lifestyle changes to your diet and exercise. It will help you tremendously. Before you know it your day will come!

I'm also required to do the 6 months! I just had my second appointment a few days ago. With the holidays and all the huddle and bustle it should go by rather quickly. Welcome!

I haven't gotten to the doctor yet but I think my insurance company requires 1 year But I have had a month here and there of supervised diet with a quack doctor, but I am unsure if that will count. I am excited for you!!

@@blmcdbug most insurance requirements are 6 months back to back

Thanks skepchick! I think that is what is required so hopefully 6 months from 11/30 I will have a surgery date. Seems like a long time from now

It's less time than you think I started in August and have until February for my nutritionist classes and I can't believe how much I'm learning. Plus all the friends I'm making. I only have one more appointment then I can start scheduling all the tests I need for the Surgeon. Seriously your not going to regret having to wait 6 months because it gives you time to work on 1 bad habit a month

Good view on it!! I will change my perspective.

Have anyone recently had the sleeve done?

I am also on a six month waiting period with my first appointments in December so good to have others in the same boat and riding the same journey. Looking forward to it
