Mine happened very fast...maybe six weeks or so.

mine happened fast. Saw the surgeon for the first time end of June, got sleeved Sept 2. I wasn't working so I was able to set up all my doctors appointments very fast

My first meeting with my surgeon was 10/2 ; my surgery date is 12/2. I had about a month between my seminar and the meeting with my surgeon, so I got as many appointments out of the way during that time as I could.

My insurance also didn't require a waiting period because of my co-morbidities and I had lost 20 lbs on my own in a 6 month period. My initial consult with the surgeon was on 09/29 and I had surgery on 11/19.
