I think you should ask the surgeon if he can refer you to a Pcp. Who will help you with the six month process.

Good Luck on your big day, when your up to it please post your experience.

Welcome and Congrats on your new Husband. The process all depends on your insurance, my insurrance requires three months. But that three months requires that I meet with my Pcp, nutrionist and have a pshy evaluation. After all that is done which is Feb 7th, I will be scheduled for surgery.
