I'm in the same boat. I haven't even gotten my evaluation done yet; but, I'm eating bad foods :ohmy:knowing I will not be able to eat them before too long. I do know that my insurance does not require a waiting period so I'm hoping it does not take longer than two to three months before I have the surgery. How long did it take you once you had the evaluation? Did they want your insurance deductable up front?:woot:
