I’m in California and I had to do the 6 months no matter who I was working with and seeing before that. Insurance wants specific dates and if you miss one it starts over again..... try and call the insurance and see what they’ll let you do if you can submit proof with your dr?
Don’t do it lol 2 weeks was killer, i wouldn’t have done it that long if I didn’t have too. I had 40 BMI and lost 15 lbs in just those two weeks. Doctor said surgery went perfectly!
