Hi,

I am in the same boat. I had to wait about three weeks for my 1st appt. and I just completed my first check mark today! Yeah!

I have my psych eval and she said everything was fine. Next week nutritionist and I can not get it to see the surgeon until the 22nd then Bariatrician on the 31st. These appointments are very hard to get.

They sure do make you jump through hoops. This forum seems to have a lot of answers and people that can help you navigate.

When I scheduled mine, I just called and scheduled my pre-op and surgery date on the first call. No psych eval or anything. Since I'm having my surgery a couple hours from home, I did my pre-op blood work at my PCP's office. I'm scheduled for surgery on 6/3. Do you mind me asking what state you live in? Maybe the rules are different? Good luck to you! [emoji8]

My Insurance requires the Psych, Nutritionist and Surgeon. I would love to get this moving a little quicker. The Bariatrician was booked 1.5 months out. I am glad to get the extra information, but the waiting is getting old.

I wish my program was this stream lined.

Gotcha. That makes sense that your insurance requires it. Hey... at least they'll pay for it. Mine won't. I'm self pay. That's probably why it's streamlined.

Ughh!

It is still for the best. I am soooo excited! I can not wait to get healthy AND thin.
