What are the step b4 you get the sleeve... I think I might be closer

The steps you take before getting the sleeve vary a lot depending on your insurance policy and your surgeon's practices. Unfortunately, we can't tell you exactly how your process will work, as it is different in pretty much each situation. The insurance coordinator for your surgeon should be able to tell you exactly what is required and how far along you are in the process. Good luck!

I had over a year of hoops I had to jump through. By the time I was approved by my insurance company, my original surgeon had moved his practice out of my area. It was all worth it, IMHO. Every person I know who has done this had different requirements based on insurance company, surgeon, etc.

Dittos that it really depends on many variables, primarily YOUR INSURANCE and YOUR DOCTOR.

My experience was uneventful. I had a first visit with doctor on March 9 and was having the surgery on April 16. The insurance (BCBS admin for a private group plan) was easy and I had a few pre-op informational meetings to attend as required by the Hospital and Doctor and then the 2-week pre-op liquid diet. While the pre-op liquid diet really sucked, I did lose 30 lbs just in those two weeks.
