November surgery.. anyone else?

[kayceelizzie 10]

Ladies.

I am loving this very informative thread. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I have my first appt with True Results on 8/10/16. Just wondering what I should expect. How long is the process? If all goes well, will I have my surgery this year?? I am so ready to be sleeved up!!! I feel the same way as most of you ladies in this post. I have some pretty crazy fears, depression battles, etc. I really want to ride with my kids out at Six Flags, be able to run with them outside (or just run in general), and just feel better overall. I hate the way my clothes fit and how I look in pictures. I used to be so beautiful and photogenic!!!

Any information you ladies can offer me is so appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chubby in House Springs

I think it's really going to depend on your insurance, if you are going through insurance. Most insurances will want you to complete 3-6 months medically supervised diet, but not always. I started my whole process the end of June and will be about 4 months from then until surgery. Unfortunately, unless you're self pay, it's just kind of a waiting game! But it gives you so much time to do your research and get prepared. I've learned more in the past month than I did in the year before I made the final decision to go through with surgery. Good luck!! Also, are you from House Springs, MO? If so, we're neighbors!!

I started my process in late May and have done all required labs and appoints with- psychologist, PA, intake doc, exercise psychologist and I will have my 3rd visit with nutritionist tomorrow. I meet with the surgeon on the 16th and after that I'll just be waiting to finish my 6th nutritionist visit.. So for myself start to finish 6 months if everything goes as planned with my insurance.. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I keep wondering how I will feel afterwards, will I ever feel like myself.. Normal again

I'm most likely looking at a November date too. Had my Welcome Group meeting last week, and have my 5 appointments that the surgeon requires set in August (2 on August 11th and 3 on August 16th.) Then i will have two Weight Management Appointments, one in September and the 2nd on October 7th. Following that, they will submit my paperwork to my insurance. I already have confirmation that my insurance will cover the surgery if I meet their requirements.

Looking forward to having energy and stamina again. Back in 2010, I lost about 70 lbs doing the Metabolic Research Center (MRC) Diet, but gradually put back 100 pounds. When I was at my lower weight then, I was working out 4-6 days a week, and working with a personal trainer. I want to get back to that, without carrying around an extra 180 pounds!

I'm in Ontario and anticipating a November/December date

[LuvyDee 24]

Hi. I started my 6 months waiting period in may with anticipated surgery on November 22. I will have my 4th NUT appt next week . I completed all other required appointments. I am patiently waiting in Georgia and learning as much as I can to prepare my mind and body. I hope we will all keep in touch and keep one another encouraged. This is truly a tough journey, but I am so thankful I finally got my "mind" in check in order to improve my health. STAY UPLIFTED! !
