How long does it take to schedule your lap band surgery following an info session ? Thanks

That can really depend on your doctor. My insurance didn't really require any waiting. Or pre op diet. My doctor however required that I lose 10 percent body weight before surgery. So if you haven't already done so I would call your insurance yourself and ask what the requirements are for surgery.

Thank u

I had my info session in late December, initial surgeon consult & labwork this morning. My insurance requires 3 consecutive months of nutrition counseling, personal training, and medically supervised diet plan. I am a college student and need to have my surgery during spring break, and the surgeon got the ball rolling ASAP so that everything can be done on time. I am tentatively scheduled for March 11.

I am a college student also and would love to have my surgery done spring break but I don't know if that would be cutting it close since my info session is January 18th

I would guess it depends on what your insurance requires (unless you're self pay, then I think you'd be fine) and how quickly you start everything after the info session. I have all my 1st month's appts within the next 6 days, then scheduling February's appts during the first week and March's during the first few days.

What is your major, and what year are you? I'm a Psychology major, graduating in May [goal #1 is to get to wear a size 12/14 to graduation!].

It depends on your insurance. I had my seminar in October and am currently on my mandated six month diet before I can be submitted for approval.

Contact your insurance and find out what their requirements are.
