I have decided to have the gastric bypass surgery and have turned in my first little paperwork. How long is the process until surgery?

Well it depends if you have any health problems because of being overweight and if you have been on a supervised weight loss plan like Jenny Craig or nutri- system cuz I was on Jenny Craig when I was in my teens an my Dr. accepted that so I did not have to do the 6 month weight loss thing people have to do I got approved in like 2 months

Each insurance and surgeon is different. My insurance approved within a week. My surgeon's process was about 2 months. I had mine 6 months after I started the process based on my own family schedule. Some people are required to be on a program for 6 months. Check with your surgeons office . Good luck!
