For those of you that paid out of pocket or financed what was the wait time to get everything going as far as preparing for surgery?

Hello I am a cash patient and had my consultation on Aug 27 and my surgery is scheduled for Sept 21st. It could have been sooner but I asked for the last of the month.

I booked in January, and had surgery in April, when I had time off from work.

I could have had the surgery within a month though, if I'd wanted to.

Where did you have your surgery and how much was it?

Not long for me...I applied for a line of credit last week Monday and it was approved on the spot, once that was approved, I informed the clinic and my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 28th...

I am having mine in Little Rock,Ar through the Wellborn Clinicmy total cost is $13,495. I have it done next week I'm so excited but nervous.

That is very exciting. The hospital I'm considering is verifying my insurance I know it's not covered so I'm just "patiently" waiting on them to call me back.

No didn't have to do any liquid diet, just no food or drink after midnight the night before.

Was that because you had a low BMI? My BMI is 35.2

Me too, no liquid diets, just nothing after midnight day prior....my BMI is 34.7...maybe same will go for you as well.

No not sure why my BMI is 43. I heard its only for some if it's over 45. With my doctor.
