Fluffy Jen 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Hi, I just joined the site. I haven't been banded yet, I still have a few steps left before it is submitted to the insurance. Hopefully I will find something out the beginning of Feb. Is there anyone who could tell me what to expect once I am approved? About how long the process is before surgery? Thanks, Jen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiz 1 Posted January 20, 2009 Welcome to LBT, Jen. As far as scheduling, I think that varies from doctor to doctor and how busy they are. I would guess the mid range would be around four to six weeks. I didn't have WLS insurance, so I can't answer what you might expect once your approved. Once I decided to have the surgery, I had to attend a nutrition class, get a psych eval, and have a med eval. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
