wagyu 50 Posted July 5, 2015 Just wondering if anyone got their sleeve from meeting the doctor to surgery? With the insurance and pre op requirements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Candidate 3,215 Posted July 5, 2015 It all depends on what your insurance requirements are. They are oftentimes vastly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

judyoz 240 Posted July 5, 2015 Took about 6 weeks for me only because I had a couple of bumps in the road. Lots of extra presurgery procedures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeyfan7 249 Posted July 6, 2015 When I had my band done in 2012 my first appointment was in May and I was approved in late June but my surgeon couldn't schedule the surgery until August. When I had my sleeve revision we decided the very end of April, insurance approved mid-May and I had surgery June 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted July 6, 2015 First appt mid may. Approval late june. Surgery July 15th. It would have been faster but people were on vacations. My insurance did not make me do anything. That made the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lmhelmick 79 Posted July 11, 2015 My insurance requires 3 nutritional visits 30 days apart plus extra things as well, but the nut visits hold up the longest. My first nut appt was beginning of April and I had surgery June 29th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
