  14. what do you guys think about the process from start to finish ...from first request to finally getting to have the surgery?? i've had people tell me they had everything approved within two weeks ,to some people telling me it takes 3 to 6 months to MAYBE be approved. I have just requested for the surgery from my PCP and she set me up with the nutritionist and said I would have to meet with the psychiatrist as well and it may be 3 to 6 months to actually be approved
