charmming 23 Posted May 30, 2016 I will have my last appointment July 27. I'm hoping for an August surgery but it could be September. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmyD102 95 Posted May 30, 2016 My husband and I are both getting the sleeve, my surgeon said they have to be a month apart (because of our 2 yr old) so my husband is getting his in July and mine will most likely be august but we won't be talking dates until our next apt on June 17th Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted May 30, 2016 I'm required to do 3 months pre-op. Third visit is in early July. My docs office says 4 weeks to get approvals and final clearances, so I'm looking at August. I can't do early August, as we have a pre-planned vacation visiting colleges with our daughter who is a rising high school senior in the first week of August. So, probably toward the end of the month (I hope.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted May 31, 2016 Moving forward in my process. At this point, my bloodwork, chest x-ray and upper GI (wow that stuff is nasty) are complete. My primary is writing her letter. I'm scheduled for psych on June 24. Only have to schedule pulmonary (I'll see my own asthma doc for that) and cardio. I have to do a support group meeting - probably this month. I want to be ready to roll for July's meeting with my surgeon to put all the paperwork through. Since my first meeting with my surgeon, I'm down 8 pounds and changing habits. I'm nervous and excited. And starting to think about all the clothes I might be able to wear in the next year or so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theantichick 2,204 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm hoping for an early August date. I have to do 3 months' supervised so it depends on if I have to have the 4th appointment or not before insurance is filed. And apparently whether or not the doctors cancel/reschedule my appointments to throw off the plan. (grrrr) I have a break between semesters for my graduate program in August, if I have it after the 22nd I'll have to deal with school research and writing during my first week post-op, which I am hoping to avoid.

rdharri 46 Posted June 22, 2016 I was told yesterday that I should have an August date. I still have psyc evaluation, EGD, letter from PCP, nicotine test and Cardiac clearance. It seems like quite a bit to do but the office is confident so I'm just going by the schedule. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kizzmia 8 Posted June 22, 2016 I will probably be in September. I had to get insurance approval before I could start the process. Then I had to go to an all day group session. I had my blood work done, met with the surgeon and found out I have lost 17 of the 10 pounds they wanted me to lose prior to surgery. In other words: I'm ahead of the game there. Tomorrow I meet with the exercise physiologist, and I have my psych eval August 18 and medical clearance August 28. After that appointment I meet with the surgeon again and get my official date. Was hoping for August but looks like I'll be in September. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
