I have a referral to see dr on Thursday I will see what it all entails

I have my surgery with them on July 2nd. I have BCBS and the initial request was denied. Once they submitted the info requested in the denial letter it was approved. total time was a little over a month. lifeweigh is very supportive and does everything possible to fight for your surgery to be approved.

That's wonderful! Congratulations! My consultation is on June 4th. Thanks for the feedback!

your welcome. good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine. if you ever need to talk let me know.

Thanks, will do!

It depends on how long it takes you to get labs, EKG, blood work, etc., done. They also put you on a food plan and monitor your progress. It took me 5 months because I postponed my first surgery date but a friend that I recommended had her surgery after 3 months. It really depends on you.
