Congratulations hun!

I don't really get the whole health care system in the states, it seems so foreign to me... but i am assuming this means you are getting close till you get a surgery date??? You must be excited! Do they give you a time frame?

It's foreign to us too! Lol. Once insurance approves I can start pre-op testing and then meet with the surgeon for a surgery date. I'm hoping for late August or early September.

God its so complicated!!!!!

For us its... get a referral from your doctor. .. meet surgeon... decide on surgery.. get a date... meet with nut/psych... get chopped up. .. simple!

It took me 3 weeks from start to finish and thats including my pre op diet!!

Thanks kathy...

We don't really have the whole insurance stuff here... so i guess that makes it easier.

We have private health insurance. . Which cover a large portion or you can self pay...

It was pretty quick... but this time i didn't need to see the psych... they already knew i was crazy from when i had my band lol

Congrats! Hope everything goes smoothly and quickly for you.

That's pretty much how my process went. Except in my case add 3 months between 'decide on surgery' and 'get a date' because my insurance required a medically supervised weight loss plan before approving.

But still, relatively painless.
