boogie_badd8nt_she 43 Posted August 16, 2016 I was just approved to start the Stage II Molina Bariatric Surgery Program(Apple Health) last week! (8/11) First NUT appointment is today and I'm already overwhelmed by all the criteria. Lol I'm so nervous because I soooo don't want to screw this opportunity up. I'm constantly thinking of how many times I've let myself down doing other things. I already know that I won't have the money to afford this in the future, so I better cut the crap right now.. lol Argh! My nerves.. so anxious.. Anyone starting their journey now and looking at Spring 2017 surgery date (If all goes well) ? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissJDVSG 129 Posted August 17, 2016 I started my insurance required 6 months of NUT appointments in July. I should be all done by December. I'm hoping to have the surgery in early January or February 2017. Yes, I can't believe I'm (almost) already two months down from when I began the process. It is going to be so fast! Here's to making the best choice for our health and happiness! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terri70 37 Posted August 26, 2016 I am in my 4th month of my 12 month health education program through my insurance. I have 8 more months to go. UGH! It's went fast so far, but when I look at the time that still needs to go by I get depressed. 12 months is a long wait! I'm hoping for a April or May surgery date. I've already done my stress test, and I have to get a breathing test done for my pulmonologist to see if I have COPD on Sept. 12th. Then I have to do my sleep study on Sept. 19th. On Sept. 21st, I have 3 appts at the surgeons office. First with the Psychologist, then the NUT, then the PA for the clinic/program. I'm not too sure what is supposed to happen after that. I guess I'll find out on the 21st. BTW, I am 5'6", HW 280 CW 270 GW maybe 145 or so (we'll see). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
