My sister and I are on this journey together. However, we have different doctors with different methods. My journey has been 6 months of nutrition therapy and one psyche evaluation. Now my primary doctor has referred me to the bariatric doctor. My question is once my approval has gone throiugh how long is the process before the actual surgery? My sister cannot answer this for me because her journey has been the opposite, she started with the bariatric doctor and is now going through the nutrition part.

I was approved and had the surgery a week later. But of course, there are a lot of variables in scheduling. Once ALL the requirements are met (ie approval, diets, evals and pre op testing) I think the next step is setting up the actual surgery.

I was scheduled about a month (maybe a little more) after being approved.
