Hi, this is my first time to post on bariatric pal. I have just made the decision to have the gastric sleeve. I have so many questions but the 1st would be for any of you who have been approved how long did your process take? Was there a wait period for any long length of time? I've read where some people had to wait 6 months or longer. I know waiting is the hardest part but I am so determined to have this surgery that I just want it as soon as possible. Any info would be so greatly appreciated! Thank y'all
