Well depending on the type of insurance that you have, determines the approval and surgery date process. It took me 13 months to get approved.

Why did it take so long for you

Well, i had to see a NUT for 6 months and then i had to get my psych eval then surgery consultation then get cardiac clearance then pulmonology clearance then finally got approval and in between each of those clearances, i had to get approval from my ins which took 2 weeks alone. But some people dont have to go thru all of this as i did. My friend, from start to finish took 3 months. I almost wanted to kick her when she told me. lol.
