Month 3 of 6

[ALBayGirl 7]

Hey y'all. I'm about to have my 3rd physician's appointment on Friday.

3 more to go after that! Question, how long after the 6 months physician visits did you have to wait before getting your surgery? I imagine it will probably depend on my insurance, but just thought I'd ask.

Also, when should I meet with the surgeon's office? Like once I'm in month 5? Any help is appreciated!

Mine was a 3 month requirement process and then it only took about 1 week for approval after they submitted to my insurance after that My surgery was scheduled for 3 weeks...could have been two but I pushed it back a week due to college obligation. I meet with my actual surgeon the first office visit and then a week before surgery. Yes, it's all going to vary depending on circumstances.

All my requirements and approvals are below on my signature line. It didn't take long afterward all the requirements. Waiting for the actual date to come seemed like forever! Good luck on your journey.

It took over 3 months for approval after my final diet appointment. There was a bit of wrestling with the insurance company. It goes much faster for most. Best of luck on your journey!

It took my insurance about 2 or 2 and a half weeks to approve me, then I had to wait a week and a half for a doctors appointment to set up the surgery schedule and get all the nitty gritty type info. I think it would have been 1-2 weeks more for the surgery, but I scheduled for a month and a half later due to my teaching schedule. Good luck and I hope everything goes great for you!

Last appt was December 21, surged on January 12. Really depends on insurance approval

Got my approval in 5 hours which is Apparently unheard of!
