I'm wondering once insurance approves me how long for surgery?

That will depend upon your surgeon and how busy he is. You should ask the office.

Yeah that figures .. Thanks ..

Yep at that point you are clear and it's first available per your surgeons surgery schedule. It took less than 3 weeks for us

Ooh wow.. I hope I get approval quick ...so I can be done with this.. I wann be able to flaunt a bathing suit for once!!! Lol

I got the approval and they scheduled the surgery. I would have only had to wait 2 weeks (time to do the preop diet) but my surgeon was going on vacation so it was 4 weeks. It was quick!

In my case they scheduled the surgery and then they submitted it. I am scheduled for the 7/25, I am calling tomorrow to see if it was approved.

It is about 6 weeks for me - due to surgeon's schedule and the 4th of July holiday.

I was approved on May 30th and my surgeon was booked until my surgery date of July 22nd. So about 7 weeks. Originally I was scheduled for June 24th but they called me with the change. My wait is a little long and I'm a little anxious for it to be here already but the time has been flying by as I prepare for it all! Hopefully you hear something soon!!! Best Wishes.

I was approved July 11th, started my liquid diet on the 12th and surgery set for the 25th of July.

My consultation was may 8th I think and that same day they have me a surgery date if I went and did all the other doctors for clearance. They told me that day I need to see a pulminologist, cardiologists, gastrolohist, psychiatrist, and go back to gastro for a endoscopy test. I also had to attend two nutrition classes that went over pre and post diet and how to properly chew etc after surgery. I was lucky because there was a medical building that had all thee docs (pulm, cardio, gastro) that all accepted my insurance and I saw all three in one day. Good luck!

I was approved 4 days after submitting to Cigna insurance and my surgeons office was right on top on it and offered my a date that week, but my work asked if I could give them a two weeks heads up so I scheduled it two weeks after approval.
