I had my Eval on the 12 and i didnt have to do any questionar thing so im very thankful but i have my nutrional apt on the 30th and then my apt for insurance on the 12th of sept and hopefully my consult within like 30 days does anyone know how long after the consult it usually takes to schedule the surgery or where we go after the consult?

it honestly depends on your type of insurance sorry but your moving through the process pretty fast goodluck on your

journey <3

Wow that is pretty fast. I had my nutrition appt first. It was kind of a waste of time. All they did was tell me what I already know. Eat more lean Protein, fruits, and veggies. They did go over portion size and what it will be post surgery.

My wellness visit was also quick. It was done at the hospital and they just test your endurance and how your body responds to physical activity.

My psych eval took FOREVER. I had to go to the office 3 times. The first was just to talk with the guy about the surgery (basically it was like therapy). Then, the next visit I had to complete a questionaire on the computer. It took about 20-30 minutes. Then I had to come back a 3rd time to read the results and go over his findings.

After everything is done and you have submitted it to the surgeon's office, they will send it to your insurance for approval. This can take from 2-4 weeks. Some are fast, some are slow. Once you get this, if approved, they will schedule your surgery date (depending on the surgeon, you may have some sort of pre-op diet). If denied, they will go back and redo your paperwork and try again. It all depends on the insurance after your part is done.

Good luck!!
