I'm in the same boat as you.

I never thought that 6 months would ever end (of dr. visits) but it did. And, before we know it, we'll hopefully get approved and banded. Good Luck!! :bounce:

I'm pretty much in the same boat with you guys.... my last visit of the 6 months of "medically supervised diet" is 1/25 and my psych eval is 1/21. I will be submitting all of my paperwork on 1/25 and the waiting will begin.

This whole process is flying by...

I'm afraid it's not flying by for me. I'm in month 4 of the "doc-supervise" phase, and I know that patience is a virtue.....but I'm ready to scream.

What's really frustrating is being in a mindset where I could lose some weight and get a good "jump-start" on things.......but then I wouldn't get approval for surgery. So instead, I'm just spinning my wheels. I keep having this bizarre fear that after 6 months, my doctor will have done something wrong-taken bad notes, or written down something that will get me disqualified for the surgery. Aieeeeee.
