Congrats everyone! I'm having surgery some time in January, but I'm just not sure when. I'm self-pay because my company's ins excludes bariatric surgery from our plan.

My Doc has me on a wait list for December, in the event someone needs to cancel. During my initial visit, he told me that I missed out on a cancellation schedule by two days. Nonetheless, he's working diligently with his coordinator to get me in soon because I am self-pay.

I guess I should be glad that my Doc stays so busy with surgeries, but it's driving me nuts that the coordinator keeps e-mailing and saying that she is waiting on him to sign-off on a few things before she can confirm my surgery date. I am very anxious and ready for this to happen, just as some of you. My wife is pushing me to call the office on Monday and request a date because I am hoping to work around some travel dates and some important meeting dates that I have for work during the month of January. I'm hoping to be one of the first after my Doc's time off after the holiday.

My date is Jan 8th.. I had the Lap Band for 8 1/2. I had problems all along, but it continued to worsen, back in July. I had it removed and wanted the sleeve. My Dr. told me to heal first. The insurance I have now only covers the RNY Gastric bypass. I really want the sleeve. But I have to do something... have gained 25 lbs, in5 months. I have tried to be good but my lap band prevented from holding anything down. I have a supper slow metabolism and take thyroid a supplement. So I am ready!!! I am 61. Elaine from alabama
