Not sure about this but most will require you to be on their plan for such and such a time before they'll approve so it more or less comes to the same timeframe. I had looked into that at first too and in the end found it not only easier and less costly to wait for the 6 months but also beneficial in terms of coming to grips with the reality of it. The process of internalizing it takes some time. I still think 6 months is too long but it is what it is.

I'm not sure where you live but if you live in Northern California (particularly the Bay Area), I know for sure Kaiser doesn't require the 6 months weigh ins. They do have you lose about 10-20% of your excess weight tho. Depending on how long you take to do that and assuming you attend all other appointments (orientation, surgeon, nutrition and psych) they'll schedule your surgery asap after meeting the steps I just mentioned.
