I had my last dr. appointment on Monday with Pulmonary, everything went good. My dr sent my paperwork today to my insurance for approval. I'm excited and pray that it will be approved. I began my journey on January 26th so it hasnt even been 5 months yet but it seems like it has been forever. Does anyone know how longs it takes to get a surgery date after the insurance approval? I guess it probably depends on the dr. office.

i started my testing in january and got banded march 30th, so it does depend on who you have as a dr and your insurance as well.

YAY I got my insurance approval today. Now I'm just waiting for the dr office to call me back to schedule my pre op appointment with surgeon.

Congratulations!! Good luck with everything
