I have my first appt Monday I've looked high and low to see what my insurance required and can't find it even recieved a bariatric benefits chart and it doesn't say. So hoping to get news like u at my appt. but with that being said I'm told about 3-4 months depending on how quickly u get thru classes and such that your bariatric sugeron requires (not insurance)

That is awesome. If you have already spoken to your insurance company and they said you are approved and you can go ahead with surgery then you are set. The ball is now in your surgeon's court. Good luck!!! My surgery is 3/16

I met with my surgeon in January and had already done the diet portion my insurance requirements so I thought it would be faster for me. My surgeon requires a sleep apnea test. I couldn't get into that doctors office until March 21st! If I do have sleep apnea then I have to be cleared by that doctor so I could have to wait until May once I get my sleep apnea under control. I am pretty sure I have it!

My surgeon requires 3 months of supervised diet even if the insurance doesn't (my insurance requires 6 tho.) he also requires 2 pre op classes, attendance to a Bariatric support group and a nutrition appointment in which I have to pass a quiz before he will move forward with surgery.
