How long was it before your Surgery date?

[Jane???? 63]

I'm curious to know how long did it take from your first appointment with a surgeon to your sugary date? Particularly if your insurance doesn't require weight loss or dieting before the surgery.

My doc said after my consult I could get in for surgery within two weeks. However, I had to push mine out until July 12th due to my conflicting schedule.

Almost 8 months! Insurance only required 6 but one of the surgeons left and caused a backlog!

Most insurance requires six months. I was self paid and it was exactly four weeks from initial consult to surgery. Typically they like you to meet with a nutritionist and get a psyche evaluation also you may need a pre op chest x ray, ekg and blood work so it depends on how quickly you can get those things done.

My insurance required a 3 month supervised diet.

for me it was about a year, because the bloodwork uncovered a problem that needed to be dealt with.
