Does anyone know how far out you can have your surgery after being approved?

Hmmn, around Central Ohio, and especially Columbus they book you 6 weeks after your consults and insurances fall into place. I got my Surgery date on July 17, 2018 and had my RNY on September 5th, 2018 at 7 AM. That was a wonderful, life-changing Day for ME, ranks up with the Delivery Dates of each child, the Day I married my late husband, and my Graduation Day.Would you believe that was 56 years ago and some of my former classmates are the same as they were then. I see 5 or 6 out around town, most of us didn't retain our Girlish figures but mine is starting to emerge from my Fat Shell, it has been hid for years, you know.😛and I ❤ being in smaller sizes. Even though my whole body looks a train wreck, it is getting better, and I am starting to recognise myself in mirrors I pass- you see I look radically different than I once did. Ms Puffy Cheeks has left town forever, I hope they like the New Me, if not they will just have to come to understand because I AM NOT GOING BACK THERE! Not Now not ever! Too Many Good facets to this all! It was more than worth it to ME!

Mine was about six weeks out because my surgeon was booked up that far on her calendar.

Got approve for surgery in early June 2019 but my surgeon only had opening end of July and early August. I picked Aug 6. I was not in a rush and it gives me time to fill out my FMLA form for work.
