I have Medicare and my surgery has to be done at a Center of Excellence.   My Surgeon only uses Norton Suburban Hosp. which did not have their C.O.E status yet.  The "walk through" was done a few months ago and they passed with flying colors as it was thought they would.  BUT!  Now all this time waiting for the legal paperwork so they can be listed as a C.O.E.   This is the only thing that has been holding up my surgery all this time!  It takes foreverrrrr! Ok, I think I am done venting now. Thanks for listening!

Just a lil note to warn all pre and post ops. GET YOUR PROTEIN IN EVERYDAY!!!  I have done rather crappy with mine since day 1 and I am paying dearly with VERY slow weight loss, major hair loss, and all out feelin like shit!  PLEASE!!!!  Follow your program's rules!!

ahhh Joy, I know that's hard, waiting is the most difficult thing to do. Unless there was a problem or something that needed corrected before they approve the C.O.E., it generally takes 90 days from the date of inspection. So hang in there...it will be here before you know it! Brenda

Yes I really do dislike the waiting game.  Usually my patience holds up but I guess between quiting smoking a month and a half ago and gaining 10 lbs the patience is alllllllll goneeeeee. The should have the it all done by now but they are movin slowwwww.
