Good luck on your journey!! I had my consultation on 12/1/17 and I have been scheduled for Gastric Sleeve surgery on April 25th, so that gives you an idea of how long the process is. If I can give any advice it would be to not give up! The process can be both frustrating and stressful especially dealing with insurance companies, but it's such a relief once you get that final approval!
