What now???

So I was just approved by my insurance, I have had the initial meeting with the surgeon, had the sleep study, psych evaluation, and 4 nutritionist appointments done. Can anyone tell me what else I may need and how long you think I have to wait for a surgery date?

If your insurance company requires a six month supervised weight loss, you may have to do that. If your surgical team found any abnormalities, you may have to deal with whatever that is. Even if you don't have a supervised weight loss time or complications, you're still at the mercy of your surgeon's calendar. How long you have to wait may depend on how many other people your surgeon already has scheduled. Good luck!

Once I had all that stuff done, I had to have an EKG, an appointment where I drank a barium drink and they checked out my stomach, then I needed an endoscopy because of those results, and finally I had to have an appointment with my PCP to get the OK.

But awesome job getting all the hard parts done! Best of luck on your journey.
