jhemp85 106 Posted December 9, 2016 I just started my six month diet before insurance approval so hoping for a late May or early June date Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It will go by fast!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhemp85 106 Posted December 9, 2016 They gave me a estimate last night.... January 25th!!! TUTU Have to wait till Sept 2017. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.>>I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )>I hope you are able to get your January date! Yay!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhemp85 106 Posted December 9, 2016 January 5th in Tijuana! I think I saw one other gal with the same date! Ive been so excited, but as soon as December hit I started freaking out and getting nervous. Trying not to think too much about it besides that it'll all be worth it in the end, trying to stay positive! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It's normal to be nervous! I started getting nervous too and I have 2 more months! Lol I know a few people who have had it done in Mexico! They all have had great results so far! You have less than a month!! I am excited for you! Just remember that this is for you! So that you can be in better health, to be a better version of you're already amazing self! As the time gets closer, focus of positive thoughts and becoming healthier! Many blessings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fhay 37 Posted December 10, 2016 I meet the surgeon on Monday to get my January surgery date Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hokie-Amber 5 Posted December 10, 2016 I'm in a program thru my insurance provider that requires me to complete 12 scheduled calls with a nurse. My last call is March 8th and my pre surgery appt at UVA is March 16th and I should be having Surgery In April. This 12 month program has been awesome but I have to tell you I'm getting more anxious as time goes by. I'm so ready and I worry that every little thing will hinder my surgery.

CantHardlyW8 24 Posted December 10, 2016 Hi. My surgery is scheduled for January 17th. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App That's when I want to schedule mine! 2 years ago on that date I was crossing the street when I got hit by a ford F250 and I was already big but gained a lot of weight from that. I want to have it on that day as bringing my life back to right. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App That is so awesome! How are you? Healing and well I hope!
