Pre-op...waiting to schedule consult

[Elvenprincess 26]

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum as well. I started my journey back in July 2015. I had my sleep study completed and then I had to register for a weight management class which is required by my insurance which is Kaiser. I had to wait until November to take the class because they fill up fast. The class lasted eight weeks and after the class I attended the orientation on January 27. My next step was to have an hour-long appointment with the nutritionist and social worker. I completed that on April 20 and also had my blood drawn the same day. Now I'm just waiting for the bariatric team to review my chart on May 4 and then call me to schedule a consultation with the surgeon. The process is so long but it is definitely well worth it. I'm so excited to get the call for my next step. I am so glad that I found this forum and glad that I have all of you for support. I would love to hear how your journeys are going and any advice that you have.

Yay congrats! I'm currently a month into my 6 month supervision required by my insurance! Surgery will be sometime in November, December. I cannot wait!

Thanks for the reply!! I have seen a lot of people saying they have had to do the 6 month supervised diet. Stay strong and you can do it girl!!! I am hoping for a June surgery date! The bariatric department has only 3 surgeons so the dates fill up fast! I have lost 41lbs so far. Hopefully time will fly for both of us! Good luck and I hope the journey goes smoothly for you!

I'm on month 2 of 6 month diet. Loosing a little nut not much. I've already got everything done just doing this diet. Surgery is either in sept or oct. The dietician never gave me #s , like how many carbs, Protein, etc., so I'm just guessing until my next appt.

Hi ~Pam~64~! My program doesn't require a 6 month diet but you have to show food and exercise logs and continue to lose weight until surgery. Good luck at your next appointment. I am hoping for a June surgery date!
