Dr. Aaron Hoffman - What does the timeline seem to be?

[Dawn10314 0]

All of my paperwork is in and I've been scheduled for the December Seminar. What does the timeline seem to be from here? I am about 3 months behind where I wanted to be because some of my paperwork got filed at my PCP's office instead of being faxed over. Hopefully you guys can give me a rough idea.

Thanks!

I went to the seminar in mid June, met with the psychiatrist July 7, first official weigh in at the clinic on July 7, Lost the required 15% weight from original weigh in through Aug 4th. I had to lose 15 lbs. Met with Dr Posner Aug 4th. Met with Dr Posner...again on Aug 26th and was given a surgery date. I did all the required things that they asked, ie chest xray, ekg, labs.... had to get final approval from my primary doctor, I had the lap band surgery on sept 28 2010. I have no regrets. since July 7th I have lost 40 pounds. Good luck to you. I hope this helps.

i had my seminar at the begining of august, pysch eval on the 31rst of august, fitness eval on the 4th of september and dietition on the 8th of september. I met with my surgeon for the first time on the 20th of september. I did all of my required stuff in October such as ekg, chest x-ray and bloodwork. I had my pre-op physical on the 29th of Nov along with my dietition follow up and I have my surgery on the 8th of december. i just had my second set of bloodwork done today. just enought time for the results to get back before surgery

It all really depends on insurance though. Good Luck!!!
