Booking surgery

[Aouellet]

I want the VSG more than anything as soon as possible! How long does it take to get in for surgery. I have my own catering business and by looking at my schedule, the easiest time to do it would b between May 26th and June 4th. How much time of I have to get my husband fully on board. He's getting there but is still concerned. TIA

When I booked in I could if had it done in 1-2 weeks from when I called. There usually isn't to bad of a wait. It depends also on ur BMI and if u need to do a pre op diet first to shed some lbs. hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I had my surgery March 6 and I booked it Feb 12. Great experience!!

Thanks. My BMI is 40 so I'm not sure how much pre-op diet I'll have to do.

Its normally recommended that you lose 10% of your body weight during pre-op.

I BOOKED MY APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 12 A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO AND NEED TO LOSE 22LBS. LOSEING THE WEIGHT ISN'T MY WORRY, IT WAS REPLACING MY PASSPORT AND GETTING MY BAND UNFILLED (I DIDN'T HAVE A LOCAL DR.). I WAS ABLE TO APPLY FOR THE PASSPORT AND EXPIDITE IT AND FIND A LOCAL DR THAT UNFILLED MY BAND. I AM NOW JUST FOCUSING ON THE DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS.

Thanks mmmgirl81. That makes me feel better. I'm hoping to book in the next little bit here and I've only got a 2 week window I can have it done at the end of may. I already have a passport though. Good luck with your surgery.
