I had my initial consult on July 18, 2012 and my surgery is this Thursday, 9/13/12. My doc required 2 appts with the dietician in his office, 1 support group through his office, psych eval, chest X-ray, upper GI, blood work and EKG. I also had to have my primary fill out a form letter showing support. Additionally, I had to document my weight loss attempts going back 5 years. That was all submitted to my insurance (horizon blue cross blue shield of new jersey) and they approved it. Start to finish was less than 2 months. Good luck!
