Hi ,

I'm in the same boat you are. My insurance requires 6

months of monitored weight loss and a psych eval. for

approval. My PCP wants the sleep study and stress

test. My stress test is next Monday the 30th, my

sleep study is Sept. 9th. Sept. is my 4th month of

monitored weight loss. My husband and I go to a

support group meeting this saturday that is run by the

surgeon's staff and my first consultation with the

surgeon is Oct. 25th. They said I should be scheduled

for my surgery in January - 5 months away but I know

it will go quickly. Just not quickly enough. I hope

everything goes quickly for you. If everything goes

as scheduled we should both have our surgery close to

the same time.
