How Soon Was Your Surgery?

[cbrks2012 23]

After your fist consultation how soon was your surgery? My consultation is on the 8th I'm hoping to start my liquid diet the following day and surgery the next week. Fingers crossed!!!

Most insurances and doctors require at least a 2 to 3 month time period before surgery where u have to meet with the dietician and start changing old habits. So if this is your first appointment with the surgeon then you may have a while until the surgery.

I have tricare so they made me do 6 months of supervised diet and exercise before I got approved to see a surgeon. Thanks for the information

I had to call and ask right after I posted lol I won't have to as soon as I do the testing I'm good to set what ever date is best for me

Mine will be less than 2 months from initial consult to surgery. Good Luck!!

Wow that's great! I didn't think my insurance would cover mine at first and when I met with my surgeon he said whether I went through insurance or not he requires all of his patients to do the 3 months. But when I found out my insurance would pay (for some of it at least lol) it worked out that I had to do the 3 months for them anyway. Surgery is set for a week from today!
