So excited to hear from doc office yesterday that my insurance no longer require 6 mnths, now it's only 4..surgery may be end of Feb or beginning of march..happy, excite and super nervous at the same time. I guess It normal and for the last 5 mnths I thought it would happen April/ May. .now it may be sooner..had this happened to anyone else? Where you end up having the procedure sooner than expected?

Hi! I was thinking the if I was qualify I will be having surgery June or July! But when I talk to the surgeon staff they inform me that my insurgence only require 2 or 3 weight management meeting so I started in December and I just need one more meeting which is going to be February 17. So I already got a servitude date which is March 7!! I'm sooooo nervous tho!!!! I this is going to change my life of course!! So I'm scared of the unknown?!?! But happy because I'm already feeling more confident about my self and just by knowing that in a couple of months I will start getting skinny and change the way I eat and I can exercise and see results! My problem is portion control so with this surgery I will get control once again! Can't wait!!!!! Good luck to you!!

That's awesome! My husband and I were talking about how we wished they would lower the requirement because it discourages people who really need help. I was blessed because my insurance requires six months but fortunately i had happened to be doing weight watchers during that time (and had a one year e-Tools statement and the little weigh in card WW gives you to prove it).

If i had had to go to a Nutritionist and wait six months, i honestly probably wouldn't have had the surgery. I was ready to change NOW. i didnt want to wait because who knows what could happen in six months. I could have gotten pregnant. Or developed more co morbities. I would still be suffering from sleep apnea and pain in my joints and irregular periods.

I was actually petty lucky with my insurance, the only thing it required is a 3 year health history from my doctor and the usual psych eval. I had more from my doctor to accomplish before surgery, but all in all it went pretty fast! Good luck to you!!

Mine went down from 1 year to six months
