Recommended Posts

What is the fastest anyone has gotten approved and had surgery? My ins doesn't require any pre weight loss monitoring or anything. I have seen a dr at my local weight loss center had lab work Have a psy eval this Friday. Exercise and nutrition consult Dec 9th. The dr at the weight loss center said Jan/Feb 2016 I don't want to get my hope's up but could it be that quick.?

My first meeting with my surgeon was 10/2 ; my surgery date is 12/2. I had about a month between my seminar and the meeting with my surgeon, so I got as many appointments out of the way during that time as I could.

My insurance also didn't require a waiting period because of my co-morbidities and I had lost 20 lbs on my own in a 6 month period. My initial consult with the surgeon was on 09/29 and I had surgery on 11/19.
