How long did it take to have your surgery from your initial surgeon consult?

3.5 months for me. I was considered a revision surgery because I had the lapband from 2006 to 2010.

Less than 2 months...

Three months...they wanted to do it sooner but I had scheduling conflicts.

4 months for me.

Less than 2 months...

Me too

Almost 2 months... actually one day less!

Lucky girls! I had 6 months from seminar to OR. Insurance requirements.

It seems it might be possible then to get my surgery in before the end of the year, as my insurance does not have any prior dieting requirements

The sooner you go for it, the better! I had a 6-month requirement to meet insurance guidelines but it truly went by very quickly!
