About 4 months for me. The longest was the one month wait for the approval. Why does it take so long i have no clue. It should be 24 hours. Anyways June 23rd is my revision to bypass day

I started in September 2014. I also had to go through psych eval, testing, RN meetings, Surgical consult, a 6 month diet period and see a nutritionist once a month. I had an Endoscopy, and a month long wait for approval from insurance. 9 months or so. plus a 10 day liquid pre-op diet. I finally have surgery on May 20th. I am so excited!

Medicare TX requires 3 month counseling sessions, I guess to see if you can lose weight on your own. If they look at all the years of doctor's visits with my weight going UP UP UP, I don't think I should have to have any more proof than that!

They also require a sleep study but I have been using a CPAP for sleep apnea for around 7 year now, my last sleep test having been done just 3 years ago. I wonder if they will waive those 2 requirements. Probably not but it's the Government so there's no telling! LOL

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
