  4. I started my journey in mid July, that was my first consult and nutritionist appointment in one, after that I met with the psychologist and and my evaluation early august, I just received my insurance approval. My insurance didn't require any sort of dieting plan or six month period like some people have stated. I have my pre op testing on October 18th and am getting banded November 4th!
