I've just started this whole process. I've met with dietitian, psychiatrist and support groups. I'm jut wondering about how long does it take to be approved by psychiatrist and surgeon?

I think it varies person to person for sure. I am self pay and went to the surgeon's office last Monday and walked out an hour later with a surgery date. I had my first consult with the surgeon, my nutrition evaluation and psychiatric evaluation yesterday and started my diet toady for surgery on Nov 12. My process has been rushed and chaotic, but I have seen people struggling for weeks/months for approvals. Just hang in there!!! Good luck and hope all goes smoothly/quickly for you!!!
