Hello everyone. This is my first post and I want to say I love this site! I looked at another site but didn't like it at all. By accident I stumbled upon this one. I have not yet had the sleeve, but I am on my way. I wondered if other people's journey has taken as long as mine has. Last August I found out I had to go to a seminar about the sleeve. By the time I registered, August was booked so I went the third week in September. I then had to do a six month doctor supervised weight loss attempt that I finished in March. My doctor had to make my appointment with the surgeon which was six weeks (!) later, May 4. At this visit I didn't even see the surgeon, I had to see his nurse practitioner! After seeing her, I saw a dietitian. I finally have an appointment for next week to see the surgeon, I suppose to set a surgery date. I honestly don't know if I've been approved yet by my insurance. They told me on my May 4 visit because the surgeon is so busy they were already scheduling surgeries in July! So I suppose mine will be in August. I feel this has been such a long process and wonder if this is the norm. Thanks in advance for any encouragement.
