Dr. Charles Morton

I had a consultation the monday after Thanksgiving so it was probably around 11/26 and I had surgery on 12/30.

It can be done quickly if you want it done quickly. I have a flexible work day so I was able to go to the psych visit, nutrionist visit and the pre op testing when they had an opening.

How long does it take for self-payers (which I will be) from consultation to surgery? I can't go down for the consultation until the 19th. I hate that I have to wait that long without knowing how the process works. :smile2:

Hey, since you are self pay I don't know what Dr. Morton requires. It was my insurance that required the 6-month weight loss (try) documentation and the pysc exam. I know how it is to be so curious. You can call Dr. Morton's assistant, her name is Anoosh, I don't know her last name but there is only one Anoosh (not sure of spelling either, but that is the way it's pronounced)--she is a great lady--and I'm sure she can tell you the time line. I don't mind if you tell her that I told you to call her. Hope she will help.

I was self pay and had my surgery 1/07 by Dr. Morton it has been great, everything I could have hoped for!! I really didn't have to wait long after my consultation since I was self pay. Just waited long enough to do my 2 week liquid diet. Good Luck you will love the whole staff!!

Mine is pretty much the same story. My first visit with their office was 2 weeks ago. On my 2nd week of preop diet now surgery set for the 23rd:biggrin:
