Losebig 508 Posted January 22, 2018 Congrats on making a huge positive life changing decision. Your timeline will be dictated by your insurance (you can probably find their requirements on their website or via a call). If they don't require a supervised diet the time line is usually a couple months at best (you'll still have a bunch of requirements for pre tests, classes etc via your surgery program). If there's a supervised diet then that will be the long pole and determine timing. Be aware you can shop around for surgeons, so get one you're very comfortable with and ask the tough questions. Data shows surgeons who do over 300 (or 400?) surgeries a year have the lowest complication rates. You can read about different programs online to get a sense of what to look for. This site is a great resource with people at all stages. 1 Marieanna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
