TheAngryMeow 99 Posted February 20, 2020 My first appointment was October 31st, 2019. My surgery is February 25th. Everyone's insurance and doctor's office is different and require different things. Many require at least 3 months of a program, and some require 6. There are also some places that require weight loss before you are scheduled for surgery. Luckily for me it was about 4 months. I had to do orientation, 2 nutritionist appts, 3 Dr appts, 2 surgical appts and various support groups and exercise classes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
