How long did it all take you from your first appointment to your surgery ?

The timing depends on the surgeons protocol, how ready you are, and the insurance requirements/approval process (if applicable). It was just short of 4 months from first appointment to surgery for me. I had a 6 month supervised weight loss period required by insurance but they accepted 3 months with my PCP prior to seeing the surgeon as part of that period.

I tried a couple, and they really didn't suit me at all. I found a lot of things that were pointed towards how to get around eating healthy, which seemed counterintuitive to me.

I do belong to Geriatric Bariatrics (I'm 65) which is a close, lovely group. I also like gastricsleeve.com, but this is a great site as well.

HW: 240 lbs CW: 205 lbs: SW: 199 lbs GW: 130 lbs
1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
5 MO = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0 (GOAL) 20 MO = 133

Thanks :) I have no doubts about odesityhelp.com, but I was just inquiring about a facebook group for people around my region :)
