At the consultation, you will be given information on everything that you need to do to have the surgery and to have your insurance pay for it. You will be told the medical tests and consultations you need and the classes you have to take. In essence, you will then have your roadmap to the surgery.

So if my consultation is in Nov then when do u think I might get my surgery

Depends on your insurance. You should starting going to your Primary care doctor once per month now. Most insurance companies either recommend a 3 month or 6 month supervised diet. If you start now and only need 3 months, you'd be done with that before you even start :-) if you need 6, you'd be done in January! If you wait until nov to start everything, you're looking at April or May depending on your surgeons schedule which I'm guessing is packed if you have to wait til November for a consult!

My girlfriend did everything before even seeing the surgeon, sleep study and pulminary clearance, nutritionist visits, etc and had surgery about 2 months after the consult...

Good luck

Find out all the requirements from your insurance before going in November. Your drs office will still check with insurance, but I researched it all on my own first.
