Ins. Covered LBT'ers: approx. how long from seminar date to acutal surgery

Just wondering on the AVERAGE, how long from when you went to the seminar to actually receiving The Band? I didn't realize it would take so long, I've heard rumors of 6mos - year......Anyone else heard that?

    I have Horizon BC/BS (I always thought the BS part of the name was ironic, LOL) Anyway, my surgeon sent in all the insurance stuff the first week in July and got the approval the end of July and my surgery is scheduled for August 15th. I thought that was pretty quick. It took a while for me to compile the letters for the insurance company from the phych, med dr., nutritionist, etc.
