Duno if anyone else attended a weight loss seminar but for those that did, how long roughy after the seminar did you get the surgery.

I have yet to go to the seminar but really nervous/exited about my new life ahead xx

My insurance required a six months diet period with my pcp- so after paperwork, I waited 7 months after I attended a seminar.

Awe hope they fly by for me...my seminar is in September..I know I should be patient but I just would love a 'normal' life back...xx

My seminar was in May, my first visit was June 9 and I was approved Aug 9. It all depends on your insurance company's requirements.

The time really does fly by!

My seminar was last September and Surgery is scheduled for this Sept. 11th. My insurance had specific requirements so it took longer. Good luck to you, hope it goes quick!

Seminar in July, Surgery in September. From first appointment to surgery date about 60 days... but I was Really ready and VERY persistent... I probably drove the staff at the clinic nuts with all of my checking in and following up, but it's my health and I chose to take charge As my PCP said, they don't know who they're dealing with... (I should also add that I was always polite, upbeat and complimentary to the staff too...You have to balance persistence with being nice!)
