Well depending on the type of insurance that you have, determines the approval and surgery date process. It took me 13 months to get approved.

Well, i had to see a NUT for 6 months and then i had to get my psych eval then surgery consultation then get cardiac clearance then pulmonology clearance then finally got approval and in between each of those clearances, i had to get approval from my ins which took 2 weeks alone. But some people dont have to go thru all of this as i did. My friend, from start to finish took 3 months. I almost wanted to kick her when she told me. lol.
