Thanks to all of you for the support with my bad news yesterday, all your karma must have helped because all in one day I switched surgeons, whole different medical facility, have an appt for the 29th another one for a week later, and she said if all goes well I should be banded by mid to late August because they are accepting all the pre-surgery things I did for the other place, so I just have to do the seminar on Tuesday and my eval with the new surgeon the next week, and then they will schedule me! Wow that was a really long run on sentence....sorry about that!

Hopefully this all goes smoothly, I would love to be an August All Star!!! Not a September Spud or whatever they are calling themselves. lol

Have a great day!

OMG, are my eyes deceiving me or did you do all your prerequisite appts all on the 8th of July, in one day? That is awesome! I had to take first available for everything and sometimes that was 3-4 weeks later!

Did you get your approval yet???? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I live about 90 miles from my doctor. So, they had everything scheduled for one day. I thought it was great. But, it was a long day.

I am still waiting for the insurance company to send that approval letter...I have been checking my mail the last couple days! Hoping today will be the day.

They said I should get a letter in 7-10 days. The coordinatoor had all the paperwork send in on 14th so it is now the 10th day!!

Jackie,

I hate when they give you a time frame like that....7-10 days....cause of course you want it the 7th day, and normally it doesn't come til the 11 day. This whole process is hurry up and wait, it better be worth it because I'm getting stressed out! It's getting closer, but not close enough. Until I have my surgery date set, I will not be happy!

I hope you hear from them today.....go check the mail!! I'm excited for you! I'm sure it was a long day for you having all those appts at once, but you got it all done in one big swoop! Very cool!

Have a great day!
