Am I jumping the gun?

Hi everyone. So I just made it home from my appointment. It was slightly over 2hrs. long. The surgeon, psychiatrist and the dietitian all remarked that I seemed very well informed.

My surgeon also said it was totally possible to have the surgery before school started, it all depends on my insurance (I totally called that one). He said within the week he would send me an email with a few things his team required. I would have to complete them then he would submit it to my insurance company

Also I do have to complete a sleep study and I didn't need a letter from my PCP they take care of that.

I am so excited the team was super super nice. Everyone seemed to completely get it.

I forgot to mention I also cried it was very emotional for me even though they kept asking the same questions

I attended the information seminar on 2/11/16 and my surgery is scheduled for 6/30. I also work for the schools and wanted to do it during the summer. It just took 4 1/2 months to jump through all the hoops my doctor's office requires. I didn't have to do a supervised diet.

I asked my insurance to mail me the requirements for BS and luckily a supervised diet is not a requirement. I plan on going in being brutally honest and proving I'm committed to this life change and hopefully my appointments can be mad as close together as possible. June 8 I have an appointment with the surgeon, the nutritionist and I have the psychological evaluation. I have fingers and toes crossed. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post
