Hello... I was hoping someone could tell me how long the whole process from initial consultation to actual surgery date takes.

Congrats....I know the excitement. I am September 24th.

congrats Maddysgram....

and melidawn, it all depends on your doctor, your finances and health state. I went for a consult on Sept. 5th, and my surgery date is Sept. 28th, I am also self pay and not much medical issues except for impaired glucose....

Hello... I was hoping someone could tell me how long the whole process from initial consultation to actual surgery date takes.

Every insurance co. has different requirements. I have Aetna which required 6mth supervised diet with pcp, psych eval, nutritional consult.

Took 1wk to get approval after papers filled with ins. I could have had surgery Oct 1, but had a commitment to my granddaughter. So it will be 7 mths for me, which I really am happy with. Gave me time to wrap my head around what is required to have success with the LB.
