my surgery day is JULY 19TH

I get my doctors clearance next week and right there they submit all my papers to my insurance aetna, how long after the approval did you guys have to wait to get the surgery?

So today was my 5th month follow up, and everything is going great so far, im done with all my pre tests, my next appointment is the 5th of april, it would be the 6th month/last follow, my question is as soon as im done with that appointment how long do I have to wait till I get my surgery? Like when do I start my liquid diet? Any information would be greatly appreciated. How much time passed by for u guys after ur last month follow till u got the surgery.

So i just came back from seeing my doctor and he says i have sleep apnea which i already knew. But now he tells me i need to use the mask for 3 months before i get medical clearance. Im upset because this is was my 5th month and my R.N. said i would be able to get the surgery next month since it would be my 6th month. Now im set back another 3 months. Has anyone had this same issue? and did you actually have to use the mask for 3 months so then you could get clearance? any information would help a lot.

Thank u guys for all the info I really appreciate it!

And if so how long was the process in all?

So my pcp says I got stones in my gallbladder and now I have to get that removed first, so now im scared the process might take longer

Thank u so much for ur feedback I appreciate it.

So next week is my first appointment with my doc for lap band and ive read everywhere that its required to do diet for 3 months prior to getting scheduled for surgery. My question is, is it neccesary? I was working with my personal doctor for 6 to 9 months on loosing weight and I did loose some but gained it back very quick so thats when he referred me to this bariatric doc. So basically I just want to know if I have to diet again for another 3 months if ive tried for 9 months already and my doc is giving me a letter that says all that? Any answers would help a lot
