Yes she is but I think it's also because they are a little disorganized. When I wrote the email I was told that they had it ready and forgot to contact me. I picked them because my friend had started the process and mentioned how great everyone was but the same happened to her she had to wait and wait and she just got discouraged and stoped all together. Stay on top of them!

Hi there! I was sleeved at Monte on 1/18/17. Even if it means calling EVERY DAY, multiple times, stay on top of them! My process was elongated an extra 2 months because of their disorganization. I also filed several complaints through their customer service, which does reach the coordinators of the bariatric program. My surgery went amazingly well so no need for worry there, but definitely be persistent on the administrative end.

Best of luck!

I was the same way and then my date got moved up a week so I really couldn't stop thinking about it! Just stick to your pre op diet and you'll do great, good luck!

Good luck with everything! I'm excited for you. My surgery is on April 13th. Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. Not bad at all. I started a few weeks ago on liquids all day and 1 meal for supper. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Wishing you the best!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
