Got my date, and I'm kinda bummed because its so far away: March 14th. My surgeon is a marshmallow about the dates, but his office staff is run by an 86-star general and she says I have to have 180 days in before we file with insurance -- not just 6 dietitian meetings, but 7, effectively. And here I thought I could even get in early -- nope! Oh well, it is what it is.
My personal goal is to lose 10 pounds by March 1st, but no more. Feels doable.

Oh, shucks! Well, as long as it isn't March 15th, it'll do.. (March 20th was my day.. so it's a good month!)

Sorry you have to wait so long. I would however ask if there is a waiting list in case someone has to drop out once you have all your requirements and are cleared for surgery. My original date was April 18th, but I asked to be on the waiting list and got moved up to March 20th. I went from having 6 weeks to go to only have 13 days. And now I'm lucky to be surgery twin with the lovely @Berry78

March 14th is a blink in the eye of time! Believe me, it will pass faster than you think. I don't have a surgery date yet but I am using this time wisely to start developing the better habits needed for success after surgery. I have made it a soft goal to try to lose 30 pounds prior to the day of surgery. My insurance does not require it, but my body will sure thank me. You can do this!
