Hello... I was hoping someone could tell me how long the whole process from initial consultation to actual surgery date takes.

congrats Maddysgram....

and melidawn, it all depends on your doctor, your finances and health state. I went for a consult on Sept. 5th, and my surgery date is Sept. 28th, I am also self pay and not much medical issues except for impaired glucose....

Every insurance co. has different requirements. I have Aetna which required 6mth supervised diet with pcp, psych eval, nutritional consult.

Took 1wk to get approval after papers filled with ins. I could have had surgery Oct 1, but had a commitment to my granddaughter. So it will be 7 mths for me, which I really am happy with. Gave me time to wrap my head around what is required to have success with the LB.
