So I have all my appointments set! What Next?

I went to the seminar November 13th

I met the surgeon November 17th

Got my blood work done November 17th

UGI and Psychological November 28th

1 class on December 5th

1 class December 8th and Nutrition December 8th

finale class December 13th

and I'm waiting to schedule EGD....

This is all my insurance required so I'm guessing after this my doctor can submit everything for approval? What was your requirements? how long was your process?

BTW I have NJ BCBS PPO , My Surgeon is Dr. Jooyeun Chung. I'm just trying to time this out so I can have the surgery in January....

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
