I started this process in July of 2020. I was finished with all my requirements feb 4 2021. They forgot to submit my paperwork for 1.5 months. They finally submitted it got approval 2 weeks later. Took the nurse 2 more weeks to call me and now my surgery date is July 28. I agree the waiting is really the hard part. I was excited we were finally gonna set a date and then let down to find out its 3 months and 1 week away Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
