It depends on your insurance if you are using insurance or your medical group. My insurance had no wait period but my team required a 3 month monitored program - which was just enough time to get all the pre-op stuff done. Psych eval, cardiology, endoscopy, etc. Plus the pre-op and post-op nutrition classes. I had my first visit with my team on May 11. I had my surgery on August 23. Some insurance plans have a six month requirement.

If you are going to Mexico, it's based upon your schedule only, I believe.

Check your policy.

I had my first consult June 16th and my surgery is scheduled for December 5th. It may have been a little sooner but the lady who handles sending in the approval letter to my insurance company apparently forgot to send mine in and when I called 2 weeks later she said she had just submitted it. So that’s been a sore spot for me but other than that everything has gone smoothly

My insurance required 3 visits with dietician with weigh ins. I had to be down at least 1lb every weigh in to still qualify
